When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR

Example prompts

  • “/nigeria-ndpr”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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

  1. Adequacy decision: The NDPC has determined that the receiving country or international organisation ensures an adequate level of data…
  2. Appropriate safeguards: Including binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses approved by the NDPC, codes of conduct, or…
  3. Derogations: Explicit consent, contract performance, public interest, legal claims, vital interests, or transfer from a public register.

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

Nigeria Ndpr loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 838 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
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

Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA)

Overview

Nigeria's data protection framework comprises the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) issued by NITDA in January 2019, and the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) signed into law on June 12, 2023. The NDPA established the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) as an independent regulatory body, replacing NITDA's oversight role. The NDPA applies to the processing of personal data by any data controller or processor that is domiciled, resident, or operating in Nigeria, or that processes personal data of data subjects in Nigeria.

Lawful Basis for Processing (NDPA Section 25)

Lawful BasisDescription
ConsentData subject has given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes. Must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
ContractProcessing necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party.
Legal obligationProcessing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation of the controller.
Vital interestsProcessing necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Public interestProcessing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.
Legitimate interestsProcessing necessary for legitimate interests of the controller or third party, provided the interests are not overridden by the data subject's rights.

Data Subject Rights (NDPA Part IV)

RightDescriptionResponse Period
Right to be informedReceive information about data processing at the point of collectionAt collection
Right of accessObtain confirmation of processing and a copy of personal data30 days
Right to rectificationCorrect inaccurate personal data30 days
Right to erasureRequest deletion of personal data where no lawful basis for continued processing30 days
Right to restrict processingRequest limitation of processing in certain circumstances30 days
Right to data portabilityReceive personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format30 days
Right to objectObject to processing based on legitimate interests or public interest30 days
Right related to automated decision-makingNot be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or significant effects30 days

Sensitive Personal Data (NDPA Section 30)

The NDPA defines sensitive personal data as data relating to:

  • Racial or ethnic origin
  • Political opinions or affiliations
  • Religious or philosophical beliefs
  • Trade union membership
  • Genetic data
  • Biometric data for identification purposes
  • Health data
  • Sex life or sexual orientation
  • Criminal convictions or offences

Processing of sensitive personal data requires explicit consent or is permitted under specific derogations (substantial public interest, employment obligations, vital interests, legal claims, health or social care purposes).

Cross-Border Transfer (NDPA Part VI)

Personal data may be transferred outside Nigeria where:

  1. Adequacy decision: The NDPC has determined that the receiving country or international organisation ensures an adequate level of data protection.
  2. Appropriate safeguards: Including binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses approved by the NDPC, codes of conduct, or certification mechanisms.
  3. Derogations: Explicit consent, contract performance, public interest, legal claims, vital interests, or transfer from a public register.

The NDPC maintains a whitelist of countries with adequate protection. Controllers must conduct a transfer impact assessment and maintain records of all cross-border transfers.

Data Protection Compliance Organisation (DPCO)

Under the NDPR framework, organisations processing personal data of more than 2,000 data subjects in a 12-month period must engage a licensed Data Protection Compliance Organisation (DPCO) to conduct an annual data protection audit. The DPCO:

  • Must be licensed by the NDPC (formerly NITDA)
  • Conducts annual data protection audits
  • Files the audit report with the NDPC
  • Verifies compliance with the NDPR/NDPA
  • Provides data protection advisory services

Data Protection Impact Assessment (NDPA Section 28)

Controllers must conduct a DPIA prior to processing that is likely to result in a high risk to data subjects' rights and freedoms, particularly:

  • Systematic and extensive evaluation of personal aspects (profiling)
  • Large-scale processing of sensitive personal data
  • Systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area
  • Processing involving new technologies

DPIA results must be filed with the NDPC.

Breach Notification (NDPA Section 39)

RequirementDetail
Notification to NDPCWithin 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach
Notification to data subjectsWithout undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to rights and freedoms
Content of notificationNature of breach, categories and approximate number of data subjects affected, name and contact of DPO, likely consequences, measures taken or proposed
Record keepingDocument all breaches regardless of notification obligation

Penalties (NDPA Section 46)

  • Organisations processing data of more than 10,000 data subjects: up to 2% of annual gross revenue or NGN 10 million, whichever is greater.
  • Organisations processing data of fewer than 10,000 data subjects: up to 1% of annual gross revenue or NGN 2 million, whichever is greater.
  • Additional remedies include compensation orders, enforcement notices, and compliance orders.

Registration Requirement

Data controllers and processors must register with the NDPC. The registration includes:

  • Description of categories of data subjects and personal data
  • Purposes of processing
  • Categories of recipients
  • Description of cross-border transfers
  • Retention periods
  • Description of security measures
