I have to write the Privacy Policy for a website. I am thinking of using something along the lines of a template I found here on wiki.dot.
If I use this template, and insert our company name, will this be considered 'duplicate content' because I'm thinking others have use this as well?
Probably, yes. However, it is only one page so by itself it won't hurt you. If you have lots of pages with duplicate/low quality content this just makes it worse by adding another page to the mix.
You can always block that page from being crawled and indexed with robots.txt and x-robots.tag to prevent Google from considering that page in its algorithm or make it a canonical URL of that template you linked to. Both would solve this problem.
