 Add a page under the Tools menu to make it easier to create comprehensive
 privacy policy.

 By default WordPress doesn't collect any data from visitors unless they
 post a comment. However many plugins add third party services that collect
 visitor data. Also most embeds may collect data or add cookies (including
 from iframes).

 A good privacy policy would disclose some or all of the ways a site
 gathers, uses, discloses, and manages user data (see
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy). To be able to create such
 policy a site owner will need to know how each plugin operates, if it
 sends data to third parties, if it stores personal data, etc.

 Good way to gather all information from core and plugins is to have a
 separate screen for it. All plugins will have a place to output the
 necessary details and the site owner will be able to compose the privacy
 policy based on all information.
