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.
