This is not at all clear.  The privacy policy that should be applied
to any given data value should be determined separately from anything
else.  That someone has bookmarked, or visited, a particular URL may
be a very private matter indeed, whereas when I visited may be
completely immaterial.  Privacy policy should be enforced by the
export tool; how to inform the tool of the policy can be
tool-specific.
