What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b2ef9e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Vendor Privacy Due loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 971 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

AI Vendor Privacy Due Diligence

Overview

AI services create complex controller-processor relationships that differ significantly from traditional data processing arrangements. Whether an AI vendor is a processor, joint controller, or independent controller depends on the degree of autonomy the vendor has over personal data processing — particularly regarding model training on customer data, data retention for model improvement, and the vendor's independent purposes for the data. This skill provides the framework for determining controller-processor roles in AI service relationships, conducting privacy due diligence on AI vendors, and establishing appropriate contractual protections.

Controller-Processor Determination for AI

Decision Framework
AI Service ModelTypical RoleKey FactorsGDPR Article
SaaS AI — Customer data processed per instructionsVendor = ProcessorVendor processes data solely on controller's instructions; no independent useArt. 28 DPA required
SaaS AI — Customer data used for model trainingVendor = Joint Controller or Independent ControllerVendor uses customer data for own model improvement beyond contracted serviceArt. 26 JCA or separate controller notice
Embedded AI — Pre-trained model in customer infrastructureCustomer = Controller; Vendor = may be processor for supportModel runs in customer environment; vendor may access data for support/updatesArt. 28 if vendor accesses data
API-based AI — Customer sends data for inferenceVendor = Processor (if no data retention) or Joint Controller (if training on inputs)Depends on whether vendor retains, uses, or trains on input dataAssessment required
AI Platform — Customer builds models on vendor platformVendor = Processor for infrastructure; Controller for platform dataVendor provides compute; customer controls data and modelArt. 28 DPA + audit rights
AI Marketplace — Pre-built models with customer dataDepends on data flowIf customer data enters vendor model → joint controller assessmentCase-by-case
Key Determination Questions
  1. Who determines the purpose of processing? — The entity deciding why personal data is processed
  2. Who determines the means of processing? — The entity deciding how data is processed (but "non-essential means" may be delegated to processor)
  3. Does the vendor use data for its own purposes? — Model training, benchmarking, product improvement using customer data
  4. Does the vendor retain data beyond service delivery? — Data kept after inference, stored for training, retained in logs
  5. Does the vendor make independent decisions about the data? — Choosing to train models, sharing with sub-processors not instructed by customer
Common AI Vendor Patterns
Pattern 1: Pure Inference API (Vendor = Processor)
  • Customer sends data; receives inference result
  • Vendor does not retain input data beyond processing
  • Vendor does not train on customer data
  • Vendor acts solely on customer's instructions
  • Contractual: Art. 28 DPA with clear scope
Pattern 2: AI with Model Improvement (Vendor = Joint Controller)
  • Customer sends data; receives inference result
  • Vendor retains data to improve its models
  • Vendor determines that model training is a purpose
  • Both parties benefit from the model improvement
  • Contractual: Art. 26 Joint Controller Agreement
Pattern 3: AI with Anonymised Analytics (Assessment Required)
  • Customer sends data; receives inference result
  • Vendor claims to anonymise data and use aggregated analytics
  • If anonymisation is effective: no personal data processing for analytics
  • If anonymisation is not effective (re-identification possible): vendor is controller for analytics
  • Assessment: Verify anonymisation effectiveness per WP216
Pattern 4: Embedded AI with Telemetry (Vendor = Processor + may be Controller)
  • AI model runs in customer environment
  • Vendor collects telemetry data including model performance
  • If telemetry contains personal data: vendor may be controller for telemetry processing
  • Contractual: Art. 28 DPA for model support + separate arrangement for telemetry

AI-Specific Contractual Clauses

Model Training Restrictions
The Processor shall not use Customer Data to train, improve, fine-tune, or
otherwise develop any machine learning model, algorithm, or AI system,
whether for the Customer's benefit or for any other purpose, without prior
written consent from the Customer. Any consent granted shall specify the
scope of permitted training, the data categories involved, and the privacy
safeguards to be applied.
AI Output Accuracy
The Provider acknowledges that AI system outputs about identifiable data
subjects must comply with the accuracy principle under Art. 5(1)(d) GDPR.
The Provider shall implement measures to minimise inaccurate outputs about
data subjects and shall promptly correct inaccurate outputs upon
notification.
Model Privacy and Bias Obligations
The Provider shall conduct periodic privacy audits of AI models processing
Customer Data, including membership inference testing and training data
extraction testing, and shall make results available to the Customer upon
request. The Provider shall monitor AI systems for discriminatory outcomes
and shall implement bias mitigation measures as required.

Enforcement Relevance

  • EDPB Guidelines 07/2020 on Controller-Processor: Determination depends on factual circumstances, not contractual labels. A vendor labelled "processor" that uses data for its own purposes is factually a controller.
  • Garante v. OpenAI (2023): OpenAI's role as controller for ChatGPT training data confirmed — processing personal data for model training is an independent controller purpose.
  • CJEU C-40/17 (Fashion ID): Joint controller status can arise when a party has influence over the purpose and means of processing, even without access to the data.
  • DPC v. Meta (WhatsApp, 2023): EUR 5.5M fine — processor-controller determination must reflect actual data use, not just contractual terms.

Integration Points

  • ai-dpia: Vendor AI processing must be included in DPIA scope
  • ai-training-lawfulness: Vendor training on customer data requires lawful basis assessment
  • ai-transparency-reqs: Data subjects must be informed about AI vendor processing
  • ai-deployment-checklist: Vendor due diligence is a pre-deployment checklist item
