There are problem with this:

1) Regardless of how many items you have listed, most of your users will
take the default.  Have you considered randomly selecting defaults for
each user?  If they all pass your policy test, then this should be
acceptable?

2) Regardless of how many items you have listed, and which one a
particular user may select, you're still providing centralization from
their point of view.  It doesn't matter how many in the list there are
if all a given users queries still arrive at the same place.  That's
still centralization.  Have you considered randomly rotating all queries
through every item in the list, or turning the list into a series of
checkboxes instead of a single-choice radio dialog to avoid centralizing
my privacy (which suddenly becomes less private)?
