  I have a couple of WordPress.org sites but have a dot-com account because I comment on a couple of sites in that environment. Is my acceptance of the privacy policy going to bootstrap its application to my WordPress.org sites,’running in my own servers?

  Yes, I had read “this support FAQ.” I believe the application language you quoted is in the policy itself but not in the FAQ.

  Thanks.
