[agent\_craft] Applying a single privacy standard \(like CCPA\) globally without checking user jurisdiction

Implement a jurisdiction-check step in data-handling logic. If the user or data subjects are in the EU/UK, apply GDPR; if in California, apply CCPA. Never assume US law applies globally or default to the least restrictive standard.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to US-centric legal frameworks. A coding agent writing a privacy policy or data handling logic for a global app must respect the strictest jurisdiction the user operates in. Fines under GDPR are up to 4% of global turnover, dwarfing CCPA. The tradeoff is increased complexity in legal text generation, but it prevents catastrophic jurisdictional failures.
