It takes some real copying effort to get hit by it, one page is nothing. :) “Duplicate penalty” is overhyped. It takes some real copying effort to get hit by it, one page is nothing. :)

Some people block the bots with robots.txt, some people don't. My feeling is just to leave it and hope Google is clever enough to tell this is a privacy policy and won't freak out over the duplicate content. I think I may develop my own though, and because my sites will share an IP Google will know the sites are related and won't penalise them (I hope). I do think maybe I am over-analysing it a bit, but this seems to be another area covered by "Google-voodoo". I wish they would be a bit more clear about how we can do things by the book.

You have got me thinking here and maybe I must change my copy of a generic policy slightly and then it cannot be duplicate content. This is an interesting question.
