A privacy notice is easier to evaluate when you separate data categories, purposes, recipients and controls. Compare specific answers rather than treating the length or tone of a policy as a privacy score.
One topic. 6 useful perspectives.

Begin with the action you want to take: read a public article, create an account, install an app or join a community. These activities can involve different information and different organizations. A page's privacy notice may cover the website while an external registration service has its own policy. Identify the operator for each stage before comparing promises.
A useful reading distinguishes what data is involved from why it is used. A notice might describe a category broadly while giving several purposes for it. Look for enough detail to understand the relationship. If a site asks for a phone number, determine whether it is for authentication, communication, account recovery or another stated purpose rather than assuming all uses are identical.
Check whether the notice names service providers, related organizations or categories of third parties. A link to another website can move you into a different relationship entirely. Before entering information on the destination, review its address, operator and applicable terms. A parent site's policy does not automatically control an unrelated service merely because it recommended a link.
A statement that you can delete an account may not mean every record disappears immediately from every backup or legal retention system. Read the described scope, timing and exceptions. Likewise, clearing browser storage removes local data in that browser context; it does not necessarily delete information already held by a server. Keep these actions separate in your notes.
Review settings for optional data collection, profile visibility, notifications and synchronization where available. A control is useful only if you understand what it changes. Test a harmless preference rather than uploading sensitive information simply to see what happens. Record whether the choice applies to one browser, one device, the whole account or a particular feature.
Use the same questions for each service: who operates it, which data is involved, why it is used, who receives it, how long it is kept and which controls you have. Mark unknown answers explicitly. This produces a more useful comparison than ranking policies by length, visual polish or the number of times they use reassuring language.
