 You will need to know the following items before proceeding." → "Before
 getting started, some information on the database is required. You will
 need to know the following items before proceeding." (Replace "''needed''"
 with "''required''" to avoid tautology.)

 For the first sentence, I think the first suggestion works best:

  You should also review your Privacy Policy from time to time.


 For the second sentence:

 - I wonder why it says "some information on the database is required"
 **and** "you will need to know the following.
 - "before getting started"..."before proceeding". Another tautology.

 Would this be cleaner?

  Before getting started, you will need to know the following items.
