Conclusion

Use this program as an example of how to add privacy awareness to your code. Don't just copy and paste the code into your production code without getting it reviewed. I took several shortcuts for brevity, and you should be sure to add validation code and to check all code for security vulnerabilities.

The key messages to remember from this chapter are as follows:

  • Provide a privacy disclosure for users.

  • Create privacy settings to enable users to control their privacy.

  • Integrate the privacy settings with Group Policy to enable administrators to manage their enterprise.

  • Protect data that is stored locally on the user's computer.
