Introduction.

In addition to use and access controls, privacy and CPNI protection involves the ability for customers to meaningfully understand the conditions under which identity information is being requested or collected, the potential use of that information for other purposes, and to understand how and when consent is given for its use. The various legal and regulatory strictures typically address the readability of consent agreements, the granularity of their use, and whether the processes for their application are "opt-in" or "opt-out." These are burden allocation mechanisms where the former requires affirmative action by a consumer for an action to taken; while the latter requires affirmative action for an action not to be taken.
