What it does

Financial Retention is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Implements financial records retention requirements across EU directives (5-7 years), SOX Section 802 (7 years), MiFID II (5-7 years), tax records, payment data, and AML obligations under AMLD. Maps financial data categories to statutory retention periods with cross-jurisdictional reconciliation. Activate for financial retention, SOX records, MiFID retention, AML retention, tax record keeping queries.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/standards.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping, Privacy and GDPR and Tax preparation. The repository describes itself as: 282+ structured privacy & data protection skills for AI agents. GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, HIPAA, LGPD, PIPL, DPDP Act. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accounting and bookkeeping
  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR
  • Tasks that involve Tax preparation

Example prompts

  • “Use the financial-retention skill to implement financial records retention requirements across EU directives (5-7 years), SOX Section 802 (7 years)…”
  • “/financial-retention”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Purpose limitation (Art. 5(1)(b)): Data retained for statutory compliance may only be processed for that purpose — not repurposed for…
  2. Data minimization (Art. 5(1)(c)): Only the personal data fields necessary for the statutory obligation should be retained. Non-essential…
  3. Access restrictions: Data retained solely for legal obligation should be restricted to authorized personnel (legal, finance, compliance)…
  4. Transparency (Art. 13/14): Data subjects must be informed of the retention periods and the legal obligations that mandate them.

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

Financial Retention loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,580 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.3k

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.

Financial Records Retention

Overview

Financial records are subject to a complex matrix of statutory retention requirements across multiple regulatory frameworks. Unlike many other data categories where the GDPR storage limitation principle drives the retention period, financial records frequently have mandatory minimum retention periods that override the general principle of minimizing retention. Organizations operating across jurisdictions must reconcile overlapping and sometimes conflicting requirements — retaining long enough to satisfy the strictest applicable requirement while not retaining longer than necessary. This skill maps financial data categories to their statutory retention periods across EU, UK, and US frameworks.

GDPR Interaction with Financial Retention

Balancing Storage Limitation with Statutory Retention

The GDPR storage limitation principle (Art. 5(1)(e)) does not override statutory retention requirements. Art. 17(3)(b) explicitly provides that the right to erasure does not apply where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law.

However, the following GDPR obligations still apply to financially retained data:

  1. Purpose limitation (Art. 5(1)(b)): Data retained for statutory compliance may only be processed for that purpose — not repurposed for marketing, profiling, or other purposes without a separate legal basis.
  2. Data minimization (Art. 5(1)(c)): Only the personal data fields necessary for the statutory obligation should be retained. Non-essential fields should be deleted or anonymized when the primary processing purpose expires.
  3. Access restrictions: Data retained solely for legal obligation should be restricted to authorized personnel (legal, finance, compliance) — not accessible to general staff.
  4. Transparency (Art. 13/14): Data subjects must be informed of the retention periods and the legal obligations that mandate them.

Implementation Guidance

Retention Calendar

Orion Data Vault Corp operates the following annual retention calendar for financial records:

MonthActivity
AprilTax year end — trigger retention countdown for payroll records (FIN-005), expense claims (FIN-008)
MayAnnual financial statement preparation — trigger retention countdown for prior year general ledger (FIN-001)
JuneAnnual external audit completion — trigger retention countdown for audit files (FIN-010)
SeptemberCompanies House filing deadline — file and archive annual accounts
OctoberAnnual retention review — review all active financial retention periods against current statutory requirements
December/JanuaryFinancial year end (if December year-end) — trigger retention countdown for accounting records
QuarterlyVAT return filing — archive returns and supporting records (FIN-007)
MonthlyAML transaction monitoring — archive alerts and dispositions (FIN-009)
Technical Controls
  1. Immutable storage: Financial records subject to statutory retention must be stored on immutable (WORM) storage or with appropriate integrity controls to prevent unauthorized modification.
  2. Audit trail: All access to retained financial records must be logged (who accessed, when, what was accessed, for what purpose).
  3. Encryption at rest: All financial records must be encrypted at rest using AES-256 or equivalent.
  4. Automated deletion scheduling: When a statutory retention period expires, the record enters the automated deletion queue with a 30-day review period before permanent deletion.
  5. Legal hold override: Financial records subject to an active litigation hold are excluded from scheduled deletion regardless of retention period expiry.
