Proposed Change

To add content to the Privacy Policy page indicating to viewers that our Privacy Policy is related to Dotorg web properties, and entirely unrelated to any self hosted site running WordPress. https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/

The content would be added to the 'Contact' section at the bottom of the page.

Content

I'm happy to manually add the content to the page and request a sync. Alternatively - this is what needs to be added.

<!-- wp:group {"style":{"spacing":{"padding":{"top":"var:preset|spacing|20","bottom":"var:preset|spacing|20","left":"var:preset|spacing|20","right":"var:preset|spacing|20"}}},"backgroundColor":"blueberry-4","layout":{"type":"constrained"}} -->
<div class="wp-block-group has-blueberry-4-background-color has-background" style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)"><!-- wp:paragraph -->

Why?

The dpo@WordPress.org address currently receives a large amount of enquiries which are, in fact, related to user's own sites and not their WordPress.org account.

Our hope is that having this additional information will help deflect some of those enquiries to the correct source.
