You will usually see this when you have turned off "Private Wi-Fi address" for that network.
To get around that, go into Settings->WiFi and then click on the "i" in the blue circle.
You will then see an option down below Low Data Mode of "Private Wi-Fi Address". Enable that and that warning should disappear.

Open Settings ➡️ Wi-Fi ➡️ Tap on theℹin a blue circle tot he extreme right of your connected Wi-Fi Network's name ➡️ Private Wi-Fi Address: Set this to ON.
That should take care of the Privacy Warning notification.
