 == Overview

 "Compliance tab" is a working title that can be amended to be less
 intimidating and/or more generalized.

 The benefit of this tab is to provide WordPress site owners who are
 researching plugins with privacy, accessibility, and other information to
 determine if this plugin will meet their site needs prior to installation
 and activation.

 Ideally, this information can also be used in search and filter scenarios
 on WordPress.org to find tools compatible with the needs of site owners.

 == Privacy
 A privacy statement could include testing done against specific regulatory
 standards, and a statement of where data is transferred and stored at
 rest. It should also include any statements that need to be added to a
 site owner's privacy policy as part of using this plugin.

 This could potentially leverage the privacy policy post box information
 currently available under ''Settings > Privacy'', added in WordPress
 4.9.6.

 == Accessibility
 An accessibility statement could include the WCAG level that the plugin
 targets (A, AA, etc) and where to file any issues found.

 == Security
 A security statement should include code standards followed, measures
 taken, and who to contact if you find a vulnerability.

 == Certifications
 Any certifications that this plugin has undergone for compliance.
