IEEE 7012 : 2025

IEEE Standard for Machine Readable Privacy Terms

Standard Details

Contractual interactions and agreements between individuals and the service providers they engage on a network, including websites, applications and AI agents, are covered in this standard. It describes how individuals, acting as first parties, can proffer their privacy requirements as contractual terms and arrive at agreements recorded and kept by both sides. These terms shall be chosen from a collection of standard-form agreements in a roster kept by an independent and neutral non-business entity.(This is similar to how artists might choose Creative Commons licenses allowing or restricting certain kinds of uses for artists’ creative work.) Computing devices and software performing as agents for both first and second parties shall engage using any protocol that serves the purpose. The first party shall point to a preferred agreement, or a set of agreements, from which the second party shall accept one. Party-to-party negotiations over terms in any of these contracts or other agreements are outside the scope of this standard. If both parties agree, the chosen contract or agreement shall be signed electronically by both parties or their agents, and a matching record shall be kept by both sides in a form that can be retrieved, audited, or disputed, if necessary, at some later time--and which is available to do so easily.
