It has just occurred to me that all my lengthy privacy policy page share about 99% content with my other websites and include about 1200 words. Given that I have a number of website plus my mentor provided me with his privacy policy so there probably hundreds of pages like this on internet.

I'm hoping I'm concerned about nothing but do you have any views on how google will treat this in relation to duplicate content?

    It only matters if you are worried about getting your privacy policy indexed. If you want to rank for the keyword "privacy policy" then you are going to struggle.

    It's recommended you disallow your privacy policy from robots.txt anyway. Google doesn't need to index it.

    There is a lot of misinformation on how google deals with duplicate content. It deals with it using filters, you don't need to be concerned with your site being penalized.
    If your worried add this to that page:

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

    Yes, Google mostly does not penalize on private policy because it totally depends upon and what you wants. So don't be confused by other's content.

    No worries my friend! no one will really want to see your privacy policy anyway unless they are looking for it. You don't want that to be what shows up in a search over your homepage do you?

    Dont worry, google wont penalize you for it. I wouldn't put it in your robot.txt file cause remember you need a privacy policy for adsense, really only a person from google, when they inspect your website, needs to find it but letting google bot find it cant be a bad thing.

    Hope I helped

    You can use one of these options:

    1- block duplicate content in robots.txt using Disallow
    2- use nofollow,noindex as meta tag in header of your html
    3- use "canonical" tag and refer to the page you want to be indexed
