Full Title or Meme

  1. A statement from a User as to the behavior that the user expects of a Web Site.
  2. A condition, requirement, or item specified in a legal instrument[1] from, about, or with the consent of the user.

Context

There are at least two important contexts in which a user is required to stipulate their terms of engagement:

  1. The user is operating a browser on any internet connected device.
  2. The user is operating on a portable device (e.g. a Smart Phone) with a native app installed by the Web Site that wants to collect their data.

An other option is that the user is on a computer of any sort using an application what interacts with the user's data. If the User Information does not leave the User Device there is no User Stipulation required.

There are at least two sources of User Stipulation:

  1. The user can create a statement to be send to the correspondent Web Site informing the site as to the expectations of the user. (aka intent casting e.g. Do Not Track)
  2. The Web Site can provide the user with some sort of document (terms of use, privacy policy, etc.) that the user can accept or reject.

This page does not presently include user settings on a User Device.

Problems

Compliance by the Web Site with the agreed terms will be hard to track.

Solutions

Intent Casting

This solution covers the projection of user terms onto a correspondent Web Site.

  • An existing example is the DNT (Do Not Track) HTTP header.
  • The following example assumes a richer format for intent casting that is not yet defined.

Here are the potential terms to be cast

Name OIDC Priv Risk Notes
openid yes 0 requests access to the user_id (sub) Claim which is here assumed to be pair-wise unique for the privacy score.
profile yes 4 requests that access to the End-User’s profile Claims excluding the address and email Claims.
email yes 4 requests that access to the email and verified Claims
