    I think it is better that there should be some links nofollow for the internal pages you dont care in your website like privacy policy"etc.

    All links are dofollow if they have NOT been tagged with nofollow. There are very few legitimate reasons to nofollow internal links you shouldn't do it. Google is smart enough to be able to identify pages like privacy policy you don't need to nofollow it to give it less link juice.

    It is obvious that dofollow links have much values for generating traffic. So, keep internal links dofollow is a good practice but it should be look natural, I mean combination of dofollow and nofollow links would be good.

    i don't see anything wrong with that.. but if you have paid ad links on your site, google suggest to use nofollow to avoid getting penalized..

    You can keep links to non-promotional pages like Contact us, privacy, TOS, Disclaimer as no-follow

    I am agree with you, some pages like about us, term and condition etc have same content on every website that you create so make these pages nofollow

    All internal links are dofollow. You can use nofollow on privacy, login page.

    There is no use putting nofollow attribute in internal pages. If required you can use nofollow at specific sections like shopping cart.

    Many webmaster avoid dofollow internal linking in order to avoid PR sculpting. Even Matt Cutts advise not to use nofollow in internal linking.
