All Adsense publishers are now required to have a Privacy Policy on their sites.
It did come out in late February. However, you probably ignored the message, like I did.
It is an important change and mandatory.

I noticed that on the adsense blog too and checked the dutch version for this "requirement", but strange enough I couldn't find it (will check again)

As I understand it, each site with Adsense should have one.
As to language specific sites, other than English, I have heard that Google isn't very consistent or fast about things. So, if a message in Dutch hasn't been sent out, then they could not really fault you for not having a privacy page, is my thinking.

I saw that too, but I am too lazy to do it before the deadline (25-3)
I think one page for the humworks network should be enough
btw. Tim mentioned to use one for a network of similar sites too. He suggested also to mention all websites in this one statement. In my case I have to add the domain names for ~25 proxy domain names. I big risk to get down by some concurrent proxy webmaster

Ugh! I had part of my policies that it would be posted on the home page for 10 days - I totally forgot about that... which sucked because I had then to program a notice on the homepage to display for 10 days hah.
