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 organization 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.
