Hi !

As we’re making our forum using Discourse, I noticed that admins have access to private messages for the users of the site…

> [@Understanding user statuses, roles, and permissions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-user-statuses-roles-and-permissions/35171/1):
>
> Read any personal message

However, that poses both problems for data privacy and GDPR - why would we need to access this data - and just overall weirdness from having access to private exchanges between users of our sites.

We’re pondering about disabling the Private Message from the site entierly to avoid this, but we were wondering if there was another option, for instance to disable this feature and visibility even for admins ?

Ty !
