Privacy and compliance guardrails

Keep sensitive data out and comply with policy

---

Learning goal

• Write a 5-point privacy checklist for prompts.
• Add compliance reminders to templates.

---

Why it matters

• Protects personal/confidential data.
• Reduces accidental policy violations.

---

Explanation

• Checklist: no PII, no secrets, no client IDs, anonymize where possible.
• Add “Do not include sensitive data; redact names/IDs.”
• Log “data used” for high-risk tasks.

---

Examples

• Good: Prompt includes “Redact names; no PII; if needed, ask for sanitized data.”
• Poor: Paste full customer records.
