Comment (by TZ Media):

 To repeat concerns from the discussion about this (can‘t remember by
 whom):
 * The privacy notice in the plugin description is more aimed at site
 admins wanting to use the plugin. But the privacy notice aimed at the end
 user of the site might have to be different, as it must conform to legal
 requirements.
 * The privacy notice aimed at the end user might have different
 requirements depending e.g. on the configuration of the plugin. So it
 would be better to have this privacy notice in code, so it can adapt to
 that, while the privacy statement in the readme is static.
