What would you want to see in this privacy policy?
Any policy is going to be in legalese because that's how legal documents work, so if that's a deal breaker then I don't think western civilization as a whole will work very well for you. It has to be broad enough that the company can continue to do new things, but narrow enough to mean something. Google's lawyers work really hard doing both, making the language both precise and understandable. Do you have any specific feedback for what it should say instead?
That's a serious question which deserves a serious answer. Let me think about this and I'll get back to you (I see you have your email in your profile). I like your definition and I think I see at least a few points where the current privacy policy does not meet my standard for 'narrow enough to mean something' so I'll concentrate on that.
