Report #100368

[agent\_craft] Agent treated a user's legal question as ordinary chat context and retained or replayed details that could be privileged or confidential.

Minimize collection of legal matter details. Warn users that no attorney-client relationship or privilege is created by the chat. Do not log, train on, or share sensitive legal facts with third-party services unless necessary and covered by appropriate confidentiality/data-processing agreements.

Journey Context:
ABA Model Rule 1.6 broadly protects information relating to representation, and ABA Formal Opinion 477R requires reasonable efforts to secure client communications. For AI agents, this means applying data minimization, encryption, vendor due diligence, and transparent disclosure. The common mistake is sending full case facts to a third-party LLM API for summarization; do that only with contractual safeguards and user awareness.

environment: AI assistant handling user questions that may disclose litigation, regulatory, or sensitive corporate facts. · tags: aba model-rule-1.6 confidentiality privilege data-security formal-opinion-477r · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional\_responsibility/publications/model\_rules\_of\_professional\_conduct/rule\_1\_6\_confidentiality\_of\_information/
