Comment (by birgire):

 @xkon those theme screenshots are very informative.

 do you think it would make sense here to have a function like:

 {{{
 /**
  * Determines whether the privacy policy page is set.
  *
  * @since 4.9.6
  *
  * @return bool If the privacy policy page is set.
  */
 function has_privacy_policy() {
         return (bool) get_option( 'wp_page_for_privacy_policy' );
 }

 }}}

 to simplify theme codes like:

 {{{
 if ( has_privacy_policy() ) {
         printf(
                 '<span class="privacy-policy-page-link"><a
 href="%s">%s</a></span>',
                 esc_attr( $url ),
                 esc_html__( 'Privacy Policy', 'twentyten' ),
         );
 }

 }}}

 Not far away from existing functions like:

 - {{{has_header_image()}}}
 - {{{has_header_video()}}}
 - {{{has_custom_header()}}}
 - {{{has_site_icon()}}}
 - {{{has_custom_logo()}}}
 - {{{has_nav_menu()}}}
