An approach is provided for applying privacy policies to structured data. A privacy policy management infrastructure receives a request for an exchange of structured data among a plurality of devices. The privacy policy management infrastructure determines one or more elements of the structured data. The privacy policy management infrastructure also determines one or more privacy policies corresponding to the structured data, respective ones of the one or more elements, or a combination thereof. The privacy policy management infrastructure further determines to apply the one or more privacy policies to the structured data, respective ones of the one or more elements, or a combination thereof when initiating the exchange.
