What gdpr-data-handling does

This skill guides GDPR data processing work, from choosing a lawful basis to designing consent controls. It covers basic, sensitive, criminal, and children’s data, plus access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection rights.

The package includes a practical guide, a data-category table, lawful-basis notes, and controls for data minimization, processing records, PII encryption, need-to-know access, and retention. Detailed implementation patterns live in references/details.md, which is the next file to read when the summary is not enough.

Use it while building consent management, handling DSRs, or reviewing a privacy-first architecture. Check opt-in behavior, separate consent purposes, and safeguards for transfers, such as SCCs or adequacy decisions. It fits systems that process EU personal data; projects outside that scope have little reason to add it.

What it helps with

  • choose a lawful basis for processing personal data
  • design consent flows without pre-checked boxes
  • handle a data subject request for access or erasure
  • classify personal data and its protection level
  • review PII retention, encryption, and transfer controls

Example prompts for the agent

  • Review the lawful basis for processing email and phone data in `src/consent.ts`.
  • Design a DSR erasure flow and its response deadline.
  • Run a GDPR compliance review using `references/details.md`.

# GDPR Data Handling

Practical implementation guide for GDPR-compliant data processing, consent management, and privacy controls.

## When to Use This Skill

- Building systems that process EU personal data
- Implementing consent management
- Handling data subject requests (DSRs)
- Conducting GDPR compliance reviews
- Designing privacy-first architectures
- Creating data processing agreements

## Core Concepts

### 1. Personal Data Categories

| Category               | Examples                    | Protection Level   |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Basic**              | Name, email, phone          | Standard           |
| **Sensitive (Art. 9)** | Health, religion, ethnicity | Explicit consent   |
| **Criminal (Art. 10)** | Convictions, offenses       | Official authority |
| **Children's**         | Under 16 data               | Parental consent   |

### 2. Legal Bases for Processing

```
Article 6 - Lawful Bases:
├── Consent: Freely given, specific, informed
├── Contract: Necessary for contract performance
├── Legal Obligation: Required by law
├── Vital Interests: Protecting someone's life
├── Public Interest: Official functions
└── Legitimate Interest: Balanced against rights
```

### 3. Data Subject Rights

```
Right to Access (Art. 15)      ─┐
Right to Rectification (Art. 16) │
Right to Erasure (Art. 17)       │ Must respond
Right to Restrict (Art. 18)      │ within 1 month
Right to Portability (Art. 20)   │
Right to Object (Art. 21)       ─┘
```

## Detailed worked examples and patterns

Detailed sections (starting with `## Implementation Patterns`) live in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation summary above is insufficient.

## Best Practices

### Do's

- **Minimize data collection** - Only collect what's needed
- **Document everything** - Processing activities, legal bases
- **Encrypt PII** - At rest and in transit
- **Implement access controls** - Need-to-know basis
- **Regular audits** - Verify compliance continuously

### Don'ts

- **Don't pre-check consent boxes** - Must be opt-in
- **Don't bundle consent** - Separate purposes separately
- **Don't retain indefinitely** - Define and enforce retention
- **Don't ignore DSARs** - 30-day response required
- **Don't transfer without safeguards** - SCCs or adequacy decisions
