Meeting at Mozilla headquarters Friday, November 16, "experts" read
through privacy policies of 235 websites and assigned icons that will
summarize their content. For example, if a site has a privacy policy
which allows it to sell users’ personal data to third parties, the site
is assigned an icon that consist of an orange circle with a dollar sign
in the middle and an orange arrow pointing up, suggesting caution. In
comparison, a website privacy policy that indicates the site will not
sell such information gets a green circle and dollar sign.
