Are you talking about deleting revisions? There is a global policy on this, found here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oversight_policy
There are local rules as well, compiled here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oversight_policy/Local_policies

privacy violations is not standard at all. For example some wikis hide personal details that people put on purpose, while other ones see no point since it's their will to show them.
Also, even if it is not strictly related to private information, blocking deceased users is not standardized among platforms.

Hi all,
This is one of these things that seems particularly hard to find, so I'd like to pick your collective brains on this:
What are the various policies across our little universe on using the 'hide version' functionality to hide historical versions of articles? I would especially appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit on how it's used in practice with regards to privacy violations (what is the threshold of private information that would justify hiding versions) and copyright violations (when do you actually hide the versions, rather than just remove it from the current version and leave it in the history).
Are there any global policies on this? I think not, but always better to double check :).
