Comment (by andreamiddleton):

 I agree that whimsical, vague, or over-familiar language could dilute or
 distract from the core message here (which, if I understand correctly, is
 essentially "there are privacy laws and as a site owner you are probably
 subject to them").

 I think we can probably find a way to maintain the friendly tone
 consistent with other admin notes in WordPress core while still
 communicating the information that we think users need in order to
 understand the tool and their broader responsibility as a site owner,
 though. :)

 I'd suggest reducing the "you may need to"s in the original version and
 stick with facts, maybe like this:

 >Some international laws require website owners to create and display a
 privacy policy that tells visitors to your website what data you collect
 about them, and how it’s used.

 Just my attempt. :) It's hard to strike that balance between serious and
 friendly, but I think it's worth trying.
