Gdpr

You are in AUTONOMOUS MODE. Do NOT ask questions. Scan, assess, and report compliance gaps.

TARGET: $ARGUMENTS

If no arguments provided, perform a full GDPR/CCPA compliance assessment of the project in the current working directory.

============================================================ PHASE 0: TECH STACK DETECTION

Auto-detect the project stack to determine where data flows:

• Backend framework (Express, Django, Rails, etc.)
• Database layer (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firestore, etc.)
• ORM/ODM in use (Prisma, Sequelize, Mongoose, Django ORM, etc.)
• Frontend framework (React, Vue, Flutter, etc.)
• Authentication provider (Firebase Auth, Auth0, Cognito, custom)
• Analytics/tracking (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, etc.)
• Email/notification services (SendGrid, SES, Twilio, etc.)
• Payment processing (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
• Cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)

Record all detected integrations — each represents a potential data processing path.

============================================================ PHASE 1: PII FIELD IDENTIFICATION

Scan ALL data models, schemas, and database definitions for PII fields:

DIRECT IDENTIFIERS (high sensitivity):

• Full name, first name, last name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Social Security Number / National ID
• Passport number, driver's license
• Financial account numbers, credit card numbers
• Biometric data references

INDIRECT IDENTIFIERS (medium sensitivity):

• Date of birth, age
• Physical address, ZIP/postal code
• IP address
• Device identifiers (IMEI, MAC address, device ID)
• GPS/location coordinates
• Photos/avatars (may contain faces)

BEHAVIORAL DATA (lower sensitivity, still regulated):

• Purchase history, browsing history
• Search queries
• Usage patterns, session data
• Preferences, settings tied to a user

For each PII field found, record:

• File path and line number
• Field name and type
• Which data model it belongs to
• Whether it is encrypted at rest
• Whether it has a retention policy

============================================================ PHASE 2: DATA COLLECTION POINTS

Identify every point where user data enters the system:

FORMS AND UI:

• Registration/signup forms — what fields are collected
• Profile edit forms
• Contact/support forms
• Payment forms
• Any form collecting personal data

API ENDPOINTS:

• POST/PUT endpoints that accept user data
• File upload endpoints
• Webhook receivers that process user data

IMPLICIT COLLECTION:

• IP address logging in middleware/access logs
• User-agent string storage
• Geolocation tracking
• Cookie setting (what data, what purpose, what duration)
• Analytics event tracking (what user properties are sent)
• Error reporting services (what user context is attached)

For each collection point:

• What data is collected
• Is there a stated purpose for collection
• Is consent obtained before collection
• Is the data minimized (collecting only what is needed)

============================================================ PHASE 3: CONSENT MECHANISMS

Check for proper consent handling:

COOKIE CONSENT:

• Cookie banner/consent manager present
• Consent obtained before setting non-essential cookies
• Cookie categories defined (necessary, analytics, marketing)
• Consent preferences stored and respected
• Easy mechanism to withdraw consent

DATA PROCESSING CONSENT:

• Explicit opt-in for marketing communications
• Consent recorded with timestamp
• Separate consent for separate purposes (not bundled)
• Pre-checked boxes (violation if used for consent)

PRIVACY POLICY:

• Privacy policy page exists and is accessible
• Policy linked from data collection points
• Policy covers: what data, why, how long, who has access, user rights
• Policy is up to date (check for stale dates or references)

TERMS OF SERVICE:

• ToS exists and covers data processing
• ToS linked during registration

============================================================ PHASE 4: DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Check implementation of required data subject rights:

RIGHT TO ACCESS (Article 15 / CCPA Right to Know):

• Can users request a copy of their data?
• Is there an API endpoint or UI for data export?
• Does the export include ALL user data across all tables/collections?
• Export format: machine-readable (JSON, CSV)?

RIGHT TO ERASURE (Article 17 / CCPA Right to Delete):

• Can users request account deletion?
• Does deletion cascade to all related data?
• Does deletion reach third-party services (analytics, email lists)?
• Are backups considered (data may persist in backups)?
• Is there a soft-delete with scheduled hard-delete, or immediate?

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION (Article 16):

• Can users edit/correct their personal data?
• Are corrections propagated to all copies of the data?

RIGHT TO PORTABILITY (Article 20):

• Can users export their data in a portable format?
• Is the format interoperable (JSON, CSV, not proprietary)?

RIGHT TO OBJECT (Article 21 / CCPA Right to Opt-Out):

• Can users opt out of data processing for marketing?
• Can users opt out of automated profiling/decision-making?
• Is there a "Do Not Sell" mechanism (CCPA requirement)?

============================================================ PHASE 5: THIRD-PARTY DATA SHARING

Identify all third-party services that receive user data:

ANALYTICS:

• Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, etc.
• What user properties are sent
• Is consent obtained before tracking

ADVERTISING:

• Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, etc.
• What conversion data is shared
• Is there a "Do Not Sell" opt-out

INTEGRATIONS:

• Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) — what data is shared
• Email services (SendGrid, Mailchimp) — email + name + preferences
• SMS services (Twilio) — phone numbers
• Cloud storage — what user data is stored
• Error tracking (Sentry, Bugsnag) — what user context is attached

For each third party:

• What data is shared
• Is there a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in place
• Is the data transfer compliant (EU→US: adequate safeguards?)
• Is the sharing disclosed in the privacy policy

============================================================ PHASE 6: DATA RETENTION

Check data retention practices:

• Are retention periods defined for each data category?
• Is there automated data expiry/cleanup?
• Are inactive accounts purged after a defined period?
• Are logs rotated and expired?
• Are backups expired according to retention policy?
• Is there a data retention schedule document?

Flag any data that appears to be stored indefinitely without justification.

============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)

After producing the security analysis, validate thoroughness:

1. Verify every category in the audit was actually checked (not skipped).
2. Verify every finding has a specific file:line location.
3. Verify severity ratings are justified by impact assessment.
4. Verify no false positives by re-reading flagged code in context.

IF VALIDATION FAILS:

• Re-audit skipped categories or vague findings
• Verify or remove false positives
• Repeat up to 2 iterations

[Ordered list: Critical gaps first, then CCPA-specific, then best practices]

============================================================ NEXT STEPS

After reviewing the compliance report:

• "Implement missing data subject rights (export, delete, opt-out)."
• "Run /encryption to ensure PII is encrypted at rest and in transit."
• "Run /soc2 for broader compliance assessment."
• "Run /secure for full security posture including data handling."
• "Consult legal counsel for privacy policy and DPA review."

============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY

After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.

Check if a project memory directory exists:

• Look for the project path in ~/.claude/projects/
• If found, append to skill-telemetry.md in that memory directory

Entry format:

### /gdpr — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}

Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.

============================================================ DO NOT

• Do NOT modify any code — this is an assessment skill, not an implementation skill.
• Do NOT provide legal advice — flag gaps and suggest technical implementations.
• Do NOT expose actual PII values found in the codebase — redact in output.
• Do NOT skip third-party integrations — they are the most common compliance gap.
• Do NOT assume compliance based on the presence of a privacy policy alone.
• Do NOT conflate GDPR and CCPA requirements — note which regulation each finding applies to.
• Do NOT ignore implicit data collection (logs, analytics, error tracking).
