Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates dynamically providing privacy-policy information to a user to facilitate compliance with privacy laws. The system operates by receiving a request from the user to access digital content at a client. Upon receiving a request, the system sends a notification to a server, including information about the request. Next, the system receives a response from the server at the client, wherein the response includes privacy-policy instructions. Alternatively, the response could include the entire privacy policy. The system then allows the user to access the digital content at the client in accordance with the privacy-policy instructions.
