Description

It is the client's responsibility to ensure that their form meets the requirements set out in our ToU, including having a complete privacy notice. However, how do we handle cases where a form doesn't meet our ToU?

For example - what (if anything) do we do when a form collects personal information but does not have a privacy notice?

ie. [this form](https://forms-formulaires.alpha.canada.ca/en/id/cll55a578005kx367csnd66gl) is missing a privacy notice (only has a link to the Privacy Act, which does not fulfill the requirement) and the personal information it's requesting is at least Pro A and possibly Pro B, depending on the info end-users provide.

From a technical perspective there is the requirement of a "privacy notice" for publishing but it only checks that there's something in the input -- that something could be a space

I'd be hesitant to introduce additional approvals because it could hold up the publishing step and is it our responsibility or role to check/police?
- Maybe there's something else we could do in instructional guidance?
- Also, any thoughts on making its placement flexible?

Would love to dig into and discuss what other options / solutions might be possible

**NEXT STEPS:** @samburtonCDS to draft initial analysis/ideas for discussion, and share with @anikbrazeau to decide if/how to move forward
