The web has become complicated with a lot of intrusion on personal data. Thus several countries have stepped up regulations on how companies can use the data of their users. There are also heavy penalties for companies which misuse user data or allow it to be misused intentionally or unintentionally. Though the privacy policy has to be worded in simple terms that your users can understand, it is also pivotal that you protect yourself against legal liabilities.

There is no room for ambiguity, it can cost you millions. Better safe than sorry.
