I just noticed this as well. I enabled the option and went straight to my contact form to check and there was nothing there even though the alert I got specifically mentioned the contact form. Now when visiting the Akisment settings I see the same info relating to comments forms – and there is now a privacy notice on my comment forms, but there’s nothing on my contact forms.
Thanks for the note. This has already been fixed in the development version, and will be part of the next version: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1887011

Hi,
Under settings > privacy policy, it gives the option to either
1. “Display a privacy notice under your comment forms.”
2. “Do not display privacy notice.
To help your site be compliant with GDPR and other laws requiring notification of tracking, Akismet can display a notice to your users on your contact form. This feature is disabled by default, however, if you or your audience is located in Europe, you need to turn it on.”
Option 1 talks about COMMENT forms, option 2 talks about the CONTACT form. Which is it? I don’t have a contact form, but I do have comment forms.
