Comment (by xkon):

 @postphotos Thanks for the input!

 I'll add my thoughts as well after having that postbox in front of me for
 the last days while working on other things also:

 What I think could work a bit better would be something like along what
 @postphotos said with the difference of keeping everything on it's own so
 something like:

 `Name (whoever adds the policy) - Policy Name (optional if it's for
 something specific) - Policy Text`

 Although I would prefer for everyone to use
 `wp_add_privacy_policy_content()` 1 time only and add as much text as they
 please in 1 hook there's no limit to how many times they want to call it
 at the moment so a plugin / theme might eventually send over more than 1
 calls. For a thorough example let's take Tagregator (yay!) for instance :D

 As a plugin it might send:

 `only 1 call to wp_add_privacy_policy_content`
 Tagregator - Connecting to this that this there, api blah blah

 -OR-

 `wp_add_privacy_policy_content if instagram enabled`
 Tagregator - Instagram - Text

 `wp_add_privacy_policy_content if twitter enabled`
 Tagregator - Twitter - Text

 So we might end up with multiple 'entries' from plugins etc.

 I'd personally alter the call to accept: `$name, $policy_name,
 $policy_text`, the `kind` I don't know if we care much but if we do then
 that's an 'extra' var for it just in case we wan't to use it somehow.

 Does that make sense? ( kinda early here :D )
