To be fair, ingredients labelling is covered by an extremely strict set of regulations, and companies do play games with it as much as they're able (my favourite is "aqua" when they mean "water").

Which may be the way to go: introduce a strict set of regulations covering how to present your privacy policy

Writing "aqua" instead of "water" is not playing with the regulations, it is a regulation. In the US cosmetics have to be labelled using the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) and the INCI name for water is "aqua".
