No you didn't. You just claimed wasn't obvious. Just looking at three pages I have opened at the moment, MobileRead, IMDB, Tor and Smashwords, the link to the privacy page is in roughly the same place that Kobo has it - in the footer of each page.

This is one of the most non-private privacy statements I've come across. But I won't pick a fight with you over this. Privacy is important to some users, obviously it's not a concern of yours.
Sorry, but I don't see anything unusual in that statement. Quickly reading through the privacy policies mentioned above, I don't see it as being much different.

I didn't comment on the bits you highlighted before, but, most of them are legal requirements for any company. And two of them are basically technical requirements for any website.
