Generally when I look for an idea of whether work is a good idea I look
for a clear statement of benefit.  I'll admit that I don't find privacy
policies so valuable that I think everyone should have one.  So, I'll
ask how will or work be improved or what problem are we running into
that a privacy policy will solve?  If that cannot clearly we be
answered, we should not engage in this activity.
