Description

Would it be possible to make the "About" and "Help" sections configurable with text in the frontendconfig.json?
I would like to include a link to a data privacy policy and contact info for help with scicat in an instance of scicat.

Research direction

Start by locating the frontend rendering for the “About” and “Help” sections and how frontendconfig.json is loaded. Define configuration for their text, privacy-policy link, and help contact information, then verify that an instance can provide those values without changing the frontend source.
