We're not lawyers here, well at least i'm not. The point is to get the information across. As long as it accurately conveys the information on what the guidelines are, being personal or formal is just, formality. Trying to invoke authority by being a completely faceless impersonal machine just makes people not interested in listening to what you have to say. A few little bits here are there to regain the reader's interest keeps them reading, and we would like be to read through the whole policy so they can actually follow it. In all I count maybe 6 sentences i'd consider "informal".

I don't like hard outlines for these sort of things. It end up being hard to determine what is a fair range, and then people try to push the limits by skating the edges of what's allowed. These things are better given to the better judgement the creators on a case by case basis. What I did give was the requirement that videos be specific and concise. If anyone takes 10 minutes to explain one thing, they aren't being concise.
