Comment (by jnylen0):

 I think adding a filter for plugins is a bit overkill, especially for the
 first version we ship.  It also re-introduces the same issue that caused
 this to be punted to 4.9, where un-vetted language would be appearing on
 this page.

 A simpler alternative would be to include some phrasing like "Third-party
 plugins installed on this WordPress site may also collect and send data,
 subject to [reference to some rules for plugins].  Refer to the privacy
 policies of the individual plugins for more information."
