Privacy policy link - sitewide or on home page only?

I'm freshening up a site and I'd like to remove the privacy policy link from the footer of all pages except for the home page. Before I do I need to know if this is against adsense TOS or may be seen as a sign of "lack of trust" by Google. I can't find any recent (ideally post Panda) material describing either situation, your thoughts?

P.S. I've read the FTC Coppa regulations, my site does not cater to kids.

In short the privacy policy exists but is a link to it required from all pages ?

It's not against the TOS.

Ignoring Google for a while, I'm sure in the past I have read some European privicy guidelines that would expect a link fro all pages.
It certainly stated that the policy should be obvious (or even displayed) at any point where data was being gathered (ie a registration form).

Curious...Why would you want to remove the page?

I actually have a dedicated legal/privacy/cookies site under my companyname.info with all sites running the same copyright footer therefore I only need update one site for them all, FWIW in the whole of 2010 it had just over 1,100 uniques!

(Heh, yea I do mine in similar way, HP) You have to have one, and it has to be reasonably findable, but I don't think you have to link to it on every page. I don't on all sites.
