Comment (by grapplerulrich):

 I was looking at the code of `wp_add_privacy_policy_content( 'WordPress',
 $content )`.

 In `class WP_Privacy_Policy_Content` I found the variable `$plugin_name`
 and the documentation geared towards Plugins only. I find that mentioning
 only plugins in the documentations and the variables confusing that the
 function can only be used in plugins. This is not the case as
 `wp_add_privacy_policy_content()` is being used for WordPress itself.

 I could imagine a scenario where a plugin may have multiple privacy
 policies depending on the features enabled. I feel that the adding privacy
 policy content should not be coupled so strongly just to plugins.

 Instead of plugins terms like application or extensions could be used.
