Comment:

 The default themes are built to show how to use various theme
 functionalities, in this case, they're correctly showing how to use the
 `the_privacy_policy_link()` template tag.

 For custom themes, you can choose to not use this template tag. If you're
 unable to customise your theme in this way, then you can add a small
 plugin to remove the link:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter( 'the_privacy_policy_link', '__return_empty_string' );
 }}}
