A process is presented for publishing privacy codes for an instant messaging system that processes instant messages in accordance with restrictions associated with the privacy codes. An electronic distribution method is associated with a privacy code, which is required by a recipient system from a sender system before delivering an instant message that has been received at the recipient system from the sender system. Possibly based on a triggered condition, the privacy code is published in accordance with its associated electronic distribution method. The electronic distribution method may comprise Web-based distribution, email distribution, or instant message distribution; the distribution may involve pushing the privacy code from a first system to a second system or may involve pulling the privacy code from the first system by the second system. The privacy code and its associated electronic distribution method may be managed in accordance with a privacy policy.
