I think that policy was something that was created and never finished. I'm not even sure what context to apply to it.
I had assumed that (like most privacy policies) the context is 'we're trying to explain what goals we're trying to meet with your data'. But I'm not sure of the historical/project context around it. The wiki history suggests it was written basically completely with one person, so maybe it doesn't have the buy-in I assumed it did.
Who maintains it?
Wiki says Patrick Barnes; I'm still relatively-speaking the newbie around here and have no idea who that is :)

Dunno. Who is 'you'? End users? Implementers? Someone in between? Understanding who that you is might help you clean up/clarify the doc.
