To create a Fedora account you need to provide your name and email address. People who didn't
do that won't care much about your privacy policy because you don't know anything about them.

Getting an email for any small change to the policy would be annoying indeed, so make a
distinction between changes that change the spirit of the policy and those that don't.

For example Livejournal says:

> If there is ever a change to how LiveJournal uses or intends to use
> personal information, we will post that change to this policy and,
> if the new policy is materially less restrictive than this policy,
> we will seek your consent.

The webshop I checked says it won't share any info with anyone at all, except to get stuff
delivered.
