Comment (by azaozz):

 Frankly I'm not sure we need a shortcode for that link. Shortcodes are
 generally a "bad way to do stuff" :) They may make some sense as
 placeholders in posts, but should be avoided if at all possible.

 The privacy policy page is a standard WP page. It can easily be added to
 menus, the URL to it can easily be copied and pasted... anywhere. Then we
 already have `get_privacy_policy_url()` for themes. A shortcode that is
 not intended to be used in posts seems... perhaps not needed?
