Bug Description
The explanations in privacy settings are rather vague and don't explain what is being done to what. The implication is that the settings are to prevent/allow Canonical/Ubuntu from seeing the data where as most of the settings appear to be for Zeitgeist. A more comprehensive explanation is required. I would write one but I'm not sure what the settings are for.

The dialog is provided by activity- log-manager, what do you mean "The implication is that the settings are to prevent/allow Canonical/Ubuntu from seeing the data"? Why would user assume that privacy settings concern Canonical rather than their privacy?
