the privacy of this data depends on the policies of the web site where the movie is hosted.

What does that mean.
Does it mean that anyone can make any kind of policy on their web site and use the data on your hard disk as they wish. What kind of data can they put on your harddisk, could this be audio or video from you'r microphone and webcam.
Does the data on your harddisk belong to you or to the website.

Who's gonna read all the policy's of every web site just to watch a "Flash Movie".

The bad thing about this seems to be that you can not make your own policy about what's on your harddisk but you have to agree or disagree every time again on the policy of a web site and then you have to trust this web site ( not only Macromedia ) for not breaking their policy.
I think it's not a technical issue but a legal issue. What does it mean when I click OK on a request for using my dataspace, agreeing with whatever policy the website uses.

Does anybody know.
