The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY
=======

Passport user security and privacy is extremely important. You must make all
efforts to keep Passport user core profile data as secure and private as
possible.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Review the following items to make sure that your site is following all Passport
policies and standards:

 - Have you read, understood, and signed the comprehensive Microsoft privacy
   policy?

 - Do you have a posted privacy statement?

 - If your site is based in the United States, is it registered with an
   independent, industry-recognized, privacy-assurance body such as TRUSTe or
   BBBOnLine?

 - Is your site constructed in such a way that all of Microsoft's privacy and
   security policies are being followed?

 - Are pages of your site that access Passport user profile data using the POST
   method rather than the GET method to transfer user profile data to other
   pages?

NOTE: This is especially important when data is transferred between a collecting
form and the page that performs the upload by using the Profile property and the
Commit and LogoTag2 methods.
