As I understand it, the Guix distribution is *not* a service but a piece of 
software. Neither the Guix community nor the GNU project have any 
responsibility over the third-party services you decide to use with the Guix 
system, your software in your computer; it's only responsible of what concerns 
their services: the website and the repositories.
For example, it's not that Guix shares your IP with your network provider, you 
share it yourself. It is indeed "your responsibility" (and your network 
provider's), but why would that be on the privacy policy for Guix?

What configuration doesn't reveal your IP to the network services you use? If 
you use Tor, your IP will be revealed at least to the Tor access node. It's not 
possible to use the Internet without revealing your IP to at least one service.

I understand that the point of mentioning all that is more as an advice than a 
policy. Wouldn't it be more useful in a section about privacy recommendations 
(or something similar) that in the privacy policy?
