By making a reference to local law about privacy, you are making the application of the GPLv3 internationally uncertain. Indeed, making a reference to privacy law makes the GPLv3 step outside of the frame of the Berne Convention on author rights.

Therefore the "illegally invade users'privacy" wording should be avoided.

I think a clear definition of DRM is: - a mode of distribution - that grants some of the rights present in the license while deliberately forbidding others

This is more or less what the second part of your sentence says.
