What it does

Indirect Collection Notice is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Provides GDPR Article 14 information for personal data obtained from sources other than the data subject, covering timing requirements (within reasonable period, max one month), source disclosure, all required elements, and exemptions under Art. 14(5). Activate for Art. 14, indirect collection, third-party data source, indirect data notice queries.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR. 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 Privacy and GDPR

Example prompts

  • “Use the indirect-collection-notice skill to provide GDPR Article 14 information for personal data obtained from sources other than the data subject…”
  • “/indirect-collection-notice”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Indirect Data Acquisition
  2. Determine the Timing Obligation
  3. Prepare the Art. 14 Notice
  4. Assess Exemptions
  5. Deliver the Notice
  6. Document and Record

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

Indirect Collection Notice loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 987 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.3k

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.

Providing Indirect Collection Information

Overview

GDPR Article 14 applies when a controller obtains personal data from a source other than the data subject — such as from third-party data brokers, publicly available sources, other controllers, or through automated observation by third parties. The controller must still provide the data subject with comprehensive information about the processing, but the timing and content requirements differ from Art. 13.

GDPR Article 14 — Information Where Personal Data Have Not Been Obtained from the Data Subject
Required Information (Art. 14(1)-(2))

All elements required under Art. 13(1)(a)-(f) and Art. 13(2)(a)-(g) PLUS:

ElementArticleDescription
Categories of personal dataArt. 14(1)(d)The categories of personal data concerned (not required under Art. 13 because the subject already knows what they provided)
Source of dataArt. 14(2)(f)From which source the personal data originate, and if applicable, whether it came from publicly accessible sources
Timing Requirements (Art. 14(3))

The controller must provide the information:

  1. Art. 14(3)(a) — Default: Within a reasonable period after obtaining the personal data, but at the latest within one month, having regard to the specific circumstances in which the personal data are processed.
  2. Art. 14(3)(b) — Communication with data subject: If the personal data are to be used for communication with the data subject, at the latest at the time of the first communication to that data subject.
  3. Art. 14(3)(c) — Disclosure to another recipient: If a disclosure to another recipient is envisaged, at the latest when the personal data are first disclosed.

The earliest applicable deadline governs.

Exemptions Under Art. 14(5)

Art. 14(1)-(4) shall not apply where and insofar as:

  1. Art. 14(5)(a) — Data subject already has the information: The data subject already has the information.
  2. Art. 14(5)(b) — Impossible or disproportionate effort: The provision of such information proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort, in particular for processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes under Art. 89(1). In such cases, the controller must take appropriate measures to protect the data subject's rights and freedoms, including making the information publicly available.
  3. Art. 14(5)(c) — Union or Member State law: Obtaining or disclosure is expressly laid down by Union or Member State law which provides appropriate measures to protect the data subject's legitimate interests.
  4. Art. 14(5)(d) — Professional secrecy: The personal data must remain confidential subject to an obligation of professional secrecy regulated by Union or Member State law, including a statutory obligation of secrecy.

Indirect Collection Information Workflow

Step 1: Identify Indirect Data Acquisition
  1. Map all sources of personal data that are not the data subjects themselves.
  2. For each source, document:
    • Source identity and type (controller, publicly accessible, data broker)
    • Categories of personal data received
    • Legal basis for receiving the data
    • Date of receipt
    • Purpose of processing
Step 2: Determine the Timing Obligation

Apply the earliest applicable deadline from Art. 14(3)(a)-(c):

[Data Received from Third Party]
         │
         ▼
[Will data be used to contact the subject?]
   ├── Yes ──► Notify at or before first communication
   └── No ──► [Will data be disclosed to another recipient?]
               ├── Yes ──► Notify before or at disclosure
               └── No ──► Notify within reasonable period (max 1 month)
Show full SKILL.md (393 more words)Show less
Step 3: Prepare the Art. 14 Notice

The notice must contain all elements specified in Art. 14(1) and (2). Use the following structure:

  1. Controller identity: Meridian Analytics Ltd, 47 Canary Wharf Tower, London E14 5AB
  2. DPO contact: Dr Sarah Chen, dpo@meridiananalytics.co.uk
  3. Purposes and legal basis: State each purpose and its legal basis
  4. Categories of personal data: List the categories obtained (since the subject did not provide them directly)
  5. Recipients: Identify recipients or categories
  6. International transfers: Describe any transfers and safeguards
  7. Retention period: State period or criteria
  8. Data subject rights: List all applicable rights
  9. Right to withdraw consent: If applicable
  10. Right to complain: ICO details
  11. Source of data: Identify the source and whether it is publicly accessible
  12. Automated decision-making: If applicable
  13. Further processing: If applicable
Step 4: Assess Exemptions

Before deciding not to provide Art. 14 information, assess each exemption strictly:

ExemptionAssessmentDocumentation Required
Art. 14(5)(a) — Already has infoVerify the subject has received materially equivalent information from another sourceRecord the source and date of prior information
Art. 14(5)(b) — Impossible/disproportionate effortConduct and document proportionality assessment considering: number of data subjects, age of data, compensatory measures availableWritten proportionality assessment, approved by DPO, with compensatory measures (e.g., publish information on website)
Art. 14(5)(c) — Law requires acquisitionIdentify the specific legal provisionCitation of the provision
Art. 14(5)(d) — Professional secrecyIdentify the statutory obligation of secrecyCitation of the provision

The EDPB Guidelines on Transparency (WP260 rev.01) state that the Art. 14(5)(b) exemption should be interpreted restrictively and that the mere inconvenience or cost of providing information is not sufficient to constitute "disproportionate effort."

Step 5: Deliver the Notice
  1. Email: If the subject's email address is available, send the Art. 14 notice by email.
  2. Postal mail: If only a postal address is available, send by first-class post.
  3. Combined with first communication: Where the first communication is an email or letter, include the Art. 14 information in or with that communication.
  4. Published notice: Where the Art. 14(5)(b) exemption applies and compensatory measures are required, publish the information on the controller's website.
Step 6: Document and Record
  1. Record the date of each Art. 14 notification.
  2. Record the method of delivery.
  3. Record any exemption relied upon and its justification.
  4. Retain the record for 3 years.
