description	Use when designing privacy-policy and terms pages. Covers readability (sections, plain English summaries), the change log, when to require re-consent, and how to balance legal accuracy with usability.

Privacy Policy Presentation

A privacy policy is a contract. Users won't read it, but the few that do should find it readable.

Two-layer presentation

Plain-English summary at top of each section ('In plain English: ...'). Legal text below. Best of both.

Anchored sections

TOC at top with anchored links. Sections: What we collect / How we use it / Who we share with / Your rights / Contact.

Last-updated date

Prominent at top of page. Change log linked from there.

Re-consent

When policy changes materially, prompt user to acknowledge on next login. Don't bury changes.

Common mistakes

Pure legalese — unusable. No date — looks stale. No section anchors. Hidden behind sign-in. Cookie banner that doesn't match policy.
