API Commons Privacy Policy

An API Commons schema for publishing a provider’s privacy policy layer as machine-readable data. Data categories, purposes, retention, subprocessors, residency regions, controller/processor role, DPA link and deletion route, as data.

The API Commons Privacy Policy schema is one of eight business layers that make the political side of an API machine-readable, beside the technical contract. Data categories, purposes, retention, subprocessors, residency regions, controller/processor role, DPA link and deletion route, as data.

It profiles existing work rather than inventing: see W3C DPV. Generated documents for catalog providers are stamped with x-apis-io-derivation and live in each provider’s repository; the schema, under Apache 2.0, is at github.com/api-commons/privacy-policy.

Background: The Technical Side Translated. The Business Side Did Not.
