What it does

Once installed, the agent answers GDPR questions and designs systems with privacy in mind. It explains lawful bases for processing, classifies personal data (basic, sensitive, criminal, children's), outlines data subject rights such as access, erasure and portability, and applies do's and don'ts like opt-in consent, minimisation and retention limits. It is a written guide rather than a compliance tool, and it points to a reference file for worked examples.

Great for

  • Developers building apps or services that handle EU users' personal data
  • Teams preparing a GDPR compliance review or designing privacy controls
  • Anyone who needs a plain-language overview of GDPR rights and consent rules

Skip it if

  • Final legal advice: the skill is a practical guide, not a substitute for a qualified lawyer or data protection officer, and it can be incomplete or out of date
  • Non-EU privacy regimes such as CCPA or UK-specific rules, which the skill does not cover
  • Automated compliance checking of real systems: it gives guidance and does not scan code or data

Try asking

  • “Review this signup form design for GDPR consent issues before we launch in Germany”
  • “How should we handle a data subject access request that arrives by email?”
  • “Design a consent management model for marketing emails versus account data”
  • “What legal basis should we use to process employee health records?”

Get better results

  • Give concrete context such as the data types, country of users and the processing purpose so the advice fits your case.
  • Ask the agent to flag points that need a lawyer's review, and confirm any conclusions with qualified counsel.
  • Check the referenced details file for deeper patterns when the summary is not enough.
