Comment (by xkon):

 I'm not sure if I have this 100% right as we have different texts in
 different places and ideas ( git / docs / notes etc ). But I went with
 @azaozz 's thinking to actually add the default text that is suggested on
 his comment as that would cover a base install.

 **Notes on [attachment:43473_default_policy_text.diff] :**

 Preview [attachment:43473_default_policy_text.jpg] is on a default Twenty
 Fifteen theme as soon as the Privacy Policy page is created.

 I went with using `<h3>`, `<h4>`, `<p>` to keep it simple and as it's the
 usual 'suspects' in tags that are in a page. I left `<h1>` out as it's
 usually meant for the pages title and `<h2>` as they might want to add an
 extra header etc. If we're going to add notes I was thinking of `<em>`.

 Questions:
 - oEmbeds: Do we just write a general text + input the whole list from
 https://github.com/gdpr-compliance/info/blob/master/Privacy-policy-
 snippets.md#embedded-content , or just a text ?
 - Any industry regulatory disclosure requirements : no idea what to put
 there.
 - Is this text going to be transfered on the `WordPress` in the postbox
 -as is- ? If yes I can easily do that as well, so they can go back and
 copy/paste whatever they like.
 - Do we want to `also` include the texts from @idea15 doc as a guideline?
 If yes that page will be super heavy on writing and probably not easy to
 read. I believe that `help` should be somewhere online & centralized and
 we just communicate the link for the people to go and read further.

 -- Hopefully I didn't mess this up x_x, having texts all over without
 knowing 100% what to get after all the suggestions I just went with
 whatever felt best.
