What top keywords to highlight in a privacy policy for quicker reading?

I used to ignore privacy policies. Clicked "I accept" and moved on. But then I started to care about my privacy. I tried to take a minute to read and understand each privacy policy, but there where too many words to skim through.

I started working on an open-source tool to automatically highlight important keywords and action words in policy documents. Hovering over each highlighted word told you what you can expect in that section.

It's not 100% perfect but it has improved my readability of every privacy policy and terms of service.

I would like to improve the list of keywords and actions words to highlight. Maybe even add a new section to highlight.

What top privacy policy keywords and action words am I missing in this Git config?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for caring about your privacy. Pawel
