I think P3P is able to accommodate this. P3P does not distinguish=20
between roles, but you can have multiple statements in a policy. So one=20
statement would cover all data that is collected concerning the client=20
information and the other would cover the information collection from=20
broker. You can indicate the role in question in a description in a=20
<consequence> - Element.=20

Be sure to indicate the retention of the data elements, especially for=20
the broker information as this information is not retained. But it is=20
collected at some point in time, so the collection has to be declared,=20
but the retentions is short or absent.=20

In your case it might even make sense to go down to the single=20
data-items of the base data schema and not use categories at all. This=20
way you have a sharp distinction. In fact, the statement clusters some=20
vocabulary with some data items.=20

Best,=20
