Fix #129

  • adds a normal page with the privacy policy (which shows up in the menu and not in any special place)
  • links to https://numfocus.org/privacy-policy, which legally governs all MDAnalysis sites; this is based on advice from NumFOCUS
  • explain what information we gather (very little thanks to the removal of Google Analytics remove Google Analytics #131) and what our 3rd party providers are

@MDAnalysis/coredevs please have a look. The more people can give an approval review the better it looks.

NumFOCUS would like to be informed once we have the policy up.

This looks like copy-paste leftover.

"(9. Subscriber Data submitted to our Services or collected through" is the section in the algolia policy that governs the data – but I agree, that's not clear.

I can remove it (clean solution, similar to what NF does, who only link to the 3rd party policies) or say "look under xxx in {link} to learn more". Any preference?

I would just keep the link. Maybe somebody else has a different opinion.

Starting from @lilyminium 's edit I formatted it as

Search: algolia provides search functionality. Your search terms are transmitted to algolia to provide the search functionality on our site. Please see https://www.algolia.com/policies/privacy under Section 9. Subscriber Data submitted to our Services or collected through our Services (on behalf of our subscribers) to learn how algolia uses your data.

Is this clearer or should I just delete it and keep the link? Feel free to add a suggested code change so that I can press a button.

We can update if changes are needed, but at least this is a start. Thanks for the reviews.
