Data Sensitivity, Privacy & Regulatory Considerations

Estimated time: 3 minutes

This builds directly on Module 5's knowledge-source mechanics. Module 5 taught you how to get data into a Project — upload vs. connector. This module asks the question those mechanics don't answer on their own: should this specific data be there at all?

"What your data and industry allow" is contextual, not universal. Regulated data — health records, financial data, legal matter details, personally identifiable information, confidential business data — carries constraints that vary by sector and jurisdiction. The exact same action (uploading a customer record to a Project's knowledge sources, say) can be routine in one context and a compliance violation in another. There's no single answer independent of what data and what industry you're in.

Regulatory compliance and internal policy are separate checks. A use can be internally permitted but not regulatorily compliant — or regulatorily fine but against internal policy. "My manager said it's okay" answers a policy question, not a regulatory one, and treating the two as equivalent is the common judgment error this module flags.
