## Description

This plugin is only for Multisite networks! It will give special privileges to every
subsite administrator, that has the same email address, what is set as the main 
email address for that particular subsite. So every subsite can set their own privacy
settings and they will have the option to export or remove personal data if required
by the user. This is a very important feature if you want to compile with GDPR.

Only one user will get the special capabilities to set and edit the privacy policy
page and get access to user data export or removal pages. The user must be an administrator
and the user’s email address must match with the default email address under Settings
page.

### The Problem…

By default, the new Privacy settings introduced in WordPress 4.9.6 is available 
only for single install Administrators or if you use a Multsiite install, it is 
available only for Super Admins. There is no default option to enable Privacy settings
for subsites. It can be a big problem for you subsite users, because they can not
meet the GDPR rules.

### …and the solution

This plugin will give subsite Administrators access to these new privacy features.
Only one administrator will get these new privileges per subsite, who has the same
email, that is set under Settings page.

## FAQ

### How can I give these privileges to other user?

You need to add administrator role to a user to be able to get these privacy privileges.
When you change the default email address under the Settings page, the user will
get the new privileges to set and edit the Privacy Policy page and get access to
export or remove personal data for users.

### Does it have any security risk for the Multisite network?

No, it will not have any security risk for the Multisite network. Personal user 
data export or deletion will affect only the subsite’s data.

### What does Surbma mean?

It is the reverse version of my last name. 😉
