missing privacy api

[danmarsden]

Moodle uses a privacy API for GDPR compliance to allow plugins to specify how they deal with user data.

Note that plugins that integrate with an external API are required to implment the privacy class for approval in the plugins db - make sure if you pass any user data to that external service that you cover this in your privacy class as per:
https://moodledev.io/docs/apis/subsystems/privacy#indicating-that-you-export-data-to-an-external-location

if you do not pass any user information to the tool you may be able to implement the null provider class.

Sites that use continuous integration processes will not be able to use your plugin because Moodle runs unit tests which check to see if all extra plugins include the privacy class.
