## Content Guidelines
- **Be specific**: Don't say "we use your data for product improvement"; say "we analyze usage patterns to identify features that users find confusing and prioritize improvements to those features"
- **Plain language**: Write for a general audience, not lawyers. Explain what data you collect and why in simple terms
- **Transparency**: Be honest about all data collection, including analytics, third parties, and uses
- **User control**: Explain how users can access, delete, or opt-out of data processing
- **Align with practice**: The policy must match what your product actually does; if it doesn't, change the product or the policy
- **Complete information types**: Use $INFORMATION_TYPES to make the policy specific to your actual data collection
