 Replying to [comment:3 ocean90]:
 > I don't think that the new tools warrant its own top level menu. What's
 actually the target group for these tools? Is it really that
 [https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/ "80% or more of end users will
 actually appreciate and use"] them? I doubt that when you think about one-
 author blogs.

 The target group is 'everyone' since GDPR applies everywhere and to anyone
 that interacts with EU citizens. That is surely above 80% in my mind as
 I'm not only thiking of GDPR (an all other regulations/laws that go around
 privacy) towards Organizations, I'm applying it to anyone that gathers
 data, even an 1-Author blog that has a newsletter sign up & google
 analytics as you mention (but hey that might just be me :) ).

 Even with the above said though, your Menu iteration makes even more sense
 and thank you for the screenshot.

 My main concern is having everything under 'Tools' doesn't feel right
 anymore, especially after using all these patches day-in day-out. And if
 there's a posibility to make thir right before the release it would be
 even better instead of moving everything in another place on next release
 etc.

 **Background story (for anyone new)**: We started with a UI iteration of
 'Privacy Tools' that had everything in 1 page (settings / export /
 anonymization) so 'Tools' menu made perfect sense, but we then splitted
 them up each into it's own and that way Tools lost it's meaning (or at
 least that's how I see it).
