Comment (by dejliglama):

 - The page could be pre-populated with the policy texts from WP core.

 - Using WP's standard page versioning system to inform website owners of
 changes to the page, when policy texts update from WP core  - or other
 plugins for that matter, seems as a good idea. Though a bit of a new way
 of using the versioning system in this usecase:

 1. User sees new drafted policy page uppon install.
 2. User does litel or no changes and publish the page
 3. WP core updates policy text (page does not go back into draft)
 4. Updated text oges in to revision +1 (one step ahead of current version)
 5. Admin is alerted that a page holds a new version that is yet to be
 published
 6. Admin reviews changes, edits and publish.

 One question: could step 4 be implemented using The Customizer feature:
 scheduling with no set date, but awaiting review ?
