Comment (by azaozz):

 I'm not convinced we need another "special" page for the privacy policy.
 These are too complex to implement, have too many edge cases, too many
 rules that don't make sense for most users that make them hard to set and
 use.

 On the other hand having a standard WP page will ensure the theme displays
 it properly.

 Perhaps we can use a "standard" page. It will be created automatically
 when the site owner creates a privacy policy, see #43435. We can set the
 title and the slug according to the site's language. Then we can have
 `get_privacy_policy_content()` that will output the policy text the user
 created. Can even do it with a shortcode :)
