tl;dr: That tool needs to be disabled immediately. It may be possible to "fix" it to give very clear (and accurate!) warnings about the impending sharing of their data before the sharing takes place but IMHO making sure the wording clear and accurate will take too long (i.e. more than 5 mins) and we should first disable the tool completely while/if that wording is developed.
I went looking for people to disable it on IRC this evening (only waited that long because I was AFK a lot recently) and the person that actually looked into it (happened to be a global sysop) so far was not comfortable doing this because there are "lots of local admins there". I'm not sure if there's a policy on whether or not to wait for locals when reverting a privacy policy violation (if you would have waited for less urgent changes) but just in case I commented in a few local places anyway.

btw, another issue to address is the footer's "Privacy policy" link on that site leads to a local redlink.
I guess we'll get legal to do this themselves when they get in tomorrow morning if no one else does before then.
