An admin should be given the opportunity to review changes to any plugin's privacy policies before they are displayed by the shortcode to the site's visitors.

Form Slack:

Yes, and everything should be stored using versioning. You should be able to know what specific version of the plugin's recommendation you've reviewed, and what has changed since.

This also holds true on the very first display of a plugins privacy policy text. So essentially any time new or changed data come from a plugin, a review is required.

Interesting point to consider - what if a plugin doesn't change, but a service it shares data with changes how it handles personal data - absent a plugin update, how would the site owner (and site users) be made aware of that change?
