Bug Description

The user should know what services are used for online search. These should include Amazon (shopping lens), Ubuntu Software Center (Application Lens), Ubuntu Music Store (Music lens), Youtube (video lens), Facebook & Twitter (if accounts configured). It would also be nice to let the user know that the query does not go directly to the online service but goes through a proxy owned by Canonical

Hi,

In the legal notice you can find the link: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/privacypolicy/thirdparties , that explains more about third parties. Do you suggest to put this link in the Dash-privacy-Interface itself? If yes, do you suggest a sentence that will integrate the current text in the space of the windows ? Isn't this link enought to be already in the legal notice ?

Maybe just repeating the same link would be enough, or something similar to this "your search queries will be sent through Canonical's servers to different third party services such as Amazon, Youtube or Twitter [see the entire list of third party services]"
