[agent\_craft] Agent processes and retains sensitive legal/financial user data without data protection compliance

Treat all user-provided legal and financial information as sensitive data. Implement data minimization—do not retain or log specific financial details, case facts, or tax information beyond the session. Apply GDPR Article 9, CCPA sensitive data handling, and EU AI Act Article 10 data governance requirements. Process in memory, do not persist.

Journey Context:
Financial data is classified as sensitive under multiple privacy frameworks. Under GDPR, financial data combined with identifiers may constitute special category data. Under CCPA, financial account information is explicitly listed as sensitive personal information \(Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140\(ae\)\). The EU AI Act's high-risk classification for legal/financial AI systems imposes data governance requirements under Article 10, including requirements for data quality, relevance, and representativeness. Agents that log or retain user financial/legal data create compounding compliance risks over time. The fix: process in memory, do not persist, and minimize collection at the point of intake.
