Description

This is to increase the likelihood of the user reading the privacy policy. App stores generally already link to the privacy policy, but this is giving the user another chance before entering their credentials into the Login or Create Account fields.

@dr0ptp4kt, On the Android side, we were planning on no longer displaying the splash screen (T102482), since we're not currently focusing on driving contributions and editors in the app. Would it be acceptable to display a link to the privacy policy on the Login and Create Account screens?

Looping in Vibha… I'd like her to have input on placing new buttons / links within the app before we go too far.

Like Android, killing the splash screen on launch is something we want to do on iOS as well. Slowing down the user before they can use the app is a pretty big UX anti-pattern.

However, I think we can add a link to the Privacy Policy to the login/sign up screen as @Dbrant suggests, so when user does try to create an account or log in. That is a pretty standard place to put a privacy policy and don't think would be too much of an issue.
