seems like this user only created a HN account to pull apart the privacy policy statements...
Although good and constructive criticism, it is harsh on a team that is trying to launch something into this world, and scares off other users considering this service. I bet one could go through the privacy statement of a large co like youtube / facebook and nitpick similar issues. Of course it should be aligned, although i think it never is, a privacy statement is definitely not a reflection of how good a product’s security is.
This is a really awful place to show off a product if you don't want honest feedback. If I were launching something new, the post above yours is exactly the kind of potential customer's perspective I'd hope to get.
