It seems to me that the whole privacy notice thing is another version of the "bury them in discovery" tactic that lawyers use. Only a lawyer can read and understand all of these policies.

What we need are privacy notices that describe in plain language how a company's policy deviates from some standard privacy policy that we do take the time to understand.

If I were renting a car, I'd need to know how its operation is different from other cars. I don't need to read about how to do everything.
