Replace the documentation sidebar's US-specific privacy statement URL with the canonical https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839 already used in the website footer.

## Summary
Replace the documentation sidebar's US-specific privacy statement URL with
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839, matching the URL prescribed
by Microsoft ComplianceWeb and already used in the website footer.

## Prompting Intent
The engineer requested the official global Microsoft privacy policy link,
verified against authoritative privacy guidance rather than inferred from
the existing site, followed by a topic branch, commit, and push.

## Linked Sources
- ComplianceWeb privacy statement link requirement: https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/complianceweb/SitePages/Privacy-Statement-link-requirement.aspx?web=1
- WCP privacy guidance: https://eng.ms/docs/coreai/devdiv/one-engineering-system-1es/1es-docs/wcp/privacy/wcp-new-cookie-banner.html
- WCP cookie consent API guidance: https://eng.ms/docs/coreai/devdiv/one-engineering-system-1es/1es-docs/wcp/privacy/wcp-cookie-consent-api.html
- Approved global privacy statement URL: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839

## Rationale
Use the exact URL prescribed by authenticated ComplianceWeb guidance instead
of hard-coding an en-US privacy statement destination. Preserve the existing
Privacy label and sidebar structure; the footer already uses the approved URL.
