 Replying to [comment:3 mikejolley]:
 > 1. Agree on a schema which plugins may register to describe the personal
 data they hold for a user.

 Not sure I understand "register to describe" for plugins. Wouldn't that be
 the suggested text for the Privacy Policy page?

 > 2. Core loads in these schemas and presents a table to the admin user
 which shows what data is available to delete...

 Not sure if there is a need to select what gets deleted every time a user
 request deletion. If the plugin holds many different types of data, I
 rather see this as a setting for the plugin (on the plugin's settings
 screen). This will make it easier for the admin and be better UX in
 general. Then when a request for deletion is received and confirmed (when
 the core hook runs), the plugin will delete the data according to its own
 settings.
