That privacy policy better be really short.

Clicking through to the policy from within the app just sends you to the general policy across Google. Very long.

If we collect data and we do vaguely here’s what we might do which might include this other stuff that we might or might not do depending on what data is being collected.

That's basically the language. It's so vague and general/generic and it applies to all products, that it's impossible to know what is being collected without sniffing the traffic (maybe?).

Why even have a privacy policy if it doesn’t specify what exactly is being covered and what’s being done with the data?

It's so, so stupid.
