Comment (by pesieminski):

 I like it. It reads pretty well and a good balance of straightforward and
 accessible. Legally speaking, we're giving the right advice which is "you
 should know about this", without telling anyone specifically what they
 should do or not do for their specific site.

 Total side note, but I don't mind using more familiar language. If done
 correctly, it's engaging and can keep a reader's attention more than dry,
 or scolding language can. And getting people to pay attention is the
 ultimate goal.

 What do I know, though. I use a "Howdy!" in our A8C privacy policy, and
 heard some feedback on that, both good and bad. I've also heard from quite
 a few that it's the only privacy policy that they were able to read
 through from beginning to end w/o losing interest. That's a win in my
 book.
