There's an ongoing study whose early results found that even if people read and understood privacy policies (for mobile apps), those policies are incomplete, wrong, or self-contradictory a decent chunk of the time: https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SPW2019/ConPro/papers/okoyomon-conpro19.pdf https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SPW2019/ConPro/papers/okoyo...
It's hard to see privacy policies being written in good faith. In my opinion, they're little more than declarations of "I'm going to do all these sketchy things with your data, and it's your responsibility to protect yourself from me."
