Just read anything from a privacy policy in a Nixon-intonation "I am not a crook!" style and you'll get what you need from it. A touch of Futurama-Nixon jowl-flapping adds much to the imagined statements. They're all written in the, "Well, technically, our lawyers claim we're not lying..." style. But they're sure not end-user friendly, which is the exact point. And any time they claim they're not doing something explicitly, look for ways they might have navigated around it carefully. Roku's "you agree to let us do anything we want" policy, for instance, includes a dutiful agreement to not do anything prohibited by the laws of the country your data is stored in. Of course, they then later state that they can move your data to any country they want.
