Re: tracking-ISSUE-274: permitted uses: frequency capping and ad display auditing [TCS Last Call]

The Working Group has already resolved the list of permitted uses, so we're not interested in re-opening all such conversations now. However, it might help that frequency capping is specifically limited to data that doesn't reveal a user's browsing history and that all permitted uses are limited based on the General Requirements in Section 3.3.1.

Proposal: no change.

>>   - allowing the continuation of specific advertising industry practices (especially frequency capping and ad display auditing) using algorithms and data flows that were not originally designed to preserve the privacy of users' reading habits. These become a straightforward path by which a very large number of companies wind up getting copies of the user's browsing history without appropriate consent.
