 **Background:**

 The Disclosures Tab is an initiative that is underway in the Core Privacy
 Team.
 The aim is to help site owners / admins better understand what information
 their site (plugins, themes and Core) collects, where the information is
 stored and where it is sent - and in particular, who it is shared with.
 We hope to help site owners / admins make more informed privacy choices
 (e.g. when choosing which plugin to install) and to better understand
 their risk profile when it comes to privacy.
 For the most part, the actual "controlling" is planned for a sibling
 plugin, the Permissions Tab, which is not currently intended to be merged
 into Core, as this will contain more advanced settings.
 You can read more about the various privacy initiatives here:

 meeting-19-august-2020/

 **The Challenge:**

 The reach and impact of privacy initiatives are severely limited when
 there is no UI for it in /wp-admin/.

 **The Solution:**

 This ticket represents one milestone for the Disclosures Tab initiative.
 #51092 proposes a .json schema for various Core components (e.g. avatars),
 for plugins and for themes.
 The UI needs to present this information in a digestible format.
 It seems preferable to aggregate the information to provide a holistic
 understanding to the site owner / admin and then allow them to drill-down
 to a more granular level (e.g. a single plugin).
 The description fields in the schema can be used to explain the
 significance of each item to the site owner / admin.

 Create a sub-menu under Settings called "Privacy" (H1).

 Create a header called "Disclosures" on the page (H2).

 The section below this should be filterable.

 This section will eventually contain quite a bit of information, so it may
 be desirable to split it into tabs to improve the readability of the text.
 Suggested tabs: Overview, Core, Plugins, Themes, Blocks.
