# Lokalise Data Handling

## Overview
Handle translation data correctly with privacy, compliance, and data governance best practices.

## Prerequisites
- Understanding of GDPR/CCPA requirements
- Lokalise SDK installed
- Database for audit logging
- Data classification policies

## Instructions
1. **Data Classification**
2. **Instructions**

For full implementation details, load: `Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- PII scanning for translations
- Safe logging practices
- Data retention enforcement
- Audit trail for compliance

## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| PII in translations | User-submitted content | Scan before upload |
| Token in logs | Improper logging | Use safe log wrapper |
| Audit gaps | Missing logging | Add audit calls |
| Retention violation | No cleanup | Schedule retention jobs |

## Examples
### Pre-commit PII Check
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# .husky/pre-commit

# Check for PII in translation files
node scripts/scan-translations-pii.js

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "PII detected in translations. Please review and remove."
  exit 1
fi
```

### Quick PII Scan
```typescript
const result = await validateBeforeUpload("./locales/en.json");
if (!result.valid) {
  console.error("Cannot upload: PII detected");
  result.findings.forEach(f => console.error(`  ${f.type}: ${f.key}`));
  process.exit(1);
}
```
