Comment:

 I can relate to @gserafini here, as I have had multisite projects where
 clients would need make their own individual privacy policy and I (the
 super admin) would rather not be involved in doing any privacy policy
 related work for them. And I would rather not install a membership plug-in
 just to get around this.

 I have written a patch which adds options in the Network > Settings to
 choose who can edit the privacy policy (Super admins, or admins). This
 creates a database record in the wp_sitemeta table and changes the
 capabilities if this is set and is a multisite.

 I haven’t added the option to select a page if they are using 1 site-wide
 privacy policy though. I thought that this would be a little harder to do
 and thought adding another site option would not be as efficient or
 confusing. If someone can test my patch out and suggest what we should do
 next, that would be very helpful :)

 If we would like the option to select the site-wide privacy policy from
 the  Network > Settings screen, then I am not sure where this page would
 be stored in the database… please share your ideas on this and share how
 this should be done technically.

 Either way, I think this patch can be used a solution, or as a a base to
 improve on. I’ll look forward to more participation on this ticket.
