Comment (by xkon):

 This is a good explanation between the difference of a policy vs notice
 imho. Seems clear that `Notice` would be the way to go after this as it's
 facing 'public'.

 Taken from IAPP: https://iapp.org/resources/glossary/

 **Privacy Policy:** An internal statement that governs an organization or
 entity’s handling practices of personal information. It is directed at the
 users of the personal information. A privacy policy instructs employees on
 the collection and the use of the data, as well as any specific rights the
 data subjects may have.

 vs

 **Privacy Notice:** A statement made to a data subject that describes how
 the organization collects, uses, retains and discloses personal
 information. A privacy notice is sometimes referred to as a privacy
 statement, a fair processing statement or sometimes a privacy policy.
 Special privacy notices are also mandated by specific laws such a GLBA and
 COPPA in the United States.
