OPS
Short for Open Profiling Standard, similar to P3P, but not worked on by the W3C. Instead, it has been adopted as part of P3P. OPS allows secure transfer of data from a user's browser, but doesn't require that a Web site release its privacy policy. Therefore, the user must manually choose what info will be sent to that site.
