Comment (by JoshuaWold):

 For some quick context (had to catch myself up here):

 1. Login to your WordPress admin
 2. Scroll down to Settings > Privacy
 3. Click on the blue underlined link "Check out our guide", in the last
 paragraph.
 4. Scroll to the very bottom (on a blank installation of WordPress) and
 you'll see a tiny "Copy" button.

 This ticket is only asking what that button should say. The use case (I'm
 assuming) is that a user might want to copy the entire privacy policy for
 sharing elsewhere.

 In future releases I might suggest just taking the button out, as it could
 add more confusion than help. For instance, users not knowing where
 they're supposed to paste it from, and the fact that I can easily select
 the text on my own and copy it.

 **Given that, and given the discussion in this ticket already, I agree
 with changing the copy to:**

 **"Copy this section to clipboard"**

 It's wordy, but it's the most explicit, and we want to make sure we're
 clear on what this tool is for.

 Hope that helps, thanks everyone!
