[gdpr] Adjustment to locale for erasure / anonymisation
In: https://github.com/blomstra/flarum-ext-gdpr/blob/656e9137c708d0459d8e48f31c2fd50ca7dfa38d/resources/locale/en.yml#L146
This may need adjusting to better handle Anonymisation of data in place of deletion.
I propose that a better solution would be to have a dynamic setting:
Where the setting is set to anonymisation (instead of deletion) the text can be:
Requesting anonymisation will remove all personally identifiable information related to your account and randomly generate a new user ID for the post content to be referenced against. Your post history will not be deleted but all references to PII will be removed.
What about the scenario where anon is the default method, but a forum also allows for deletion too?
Perhaps we should instead come up with a more generic piece of text here, and provide a setting to link to a privacy policy for further information/clarification?

That’s a good point actually, I hadn’t considered that. “Anonymise or delete your account: Dependant on the settings defined by this site, you can request either deletion of your account or the anonymisation of personal data. You can read more about this on our privacy note, located here: [link]”
Perhaps something like this?
I suggest having two separate buttons the user can choose from, one for anonymise and one for delete. If the forum admin settings have disabled either of those options, then the button just won't appear for users.
