00:00:09.539 --> 00:00:14.079
Welcome back to the NicFab podcast dedicated to legal prompting.

00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.600
I am Nicola Fabiano and this is the third episode.

00:00:18.299 --> 00:00:25.500
Last time, we saw how to analyze a supervisory authority's decision using a structured prompt.

00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:28.040
Today, we take the next step.

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:34.540
We move from analyzing someone else's document to producing one of our own.

00:00:35.099 --> 00:00:37.240
We are talking about privacy notices.

00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:41.259
The problem write a privacy notice for my website.

00:00:41.939 --> 00:00:45.099
How many have already asked the model to do that?

00:00:45.619 --> 00:00:48.159
The result looks like a privacy notice.

00:00:48.860 --> 00:00:54.700
It has the right headings, cites the right articles and uses the right tone.

00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:57.220
But there is nothing inside.

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.259
The processing activities are generic.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.240
The legal basis are boilerplate.

00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:08.480
The retention periods, when they are there at all, are made up.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.279
The point is simple.

00:01:11.059 --> 00:01:14.480
The model does not know what you do with personal data.

00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:17.099
It cannot know. You know.

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:19.440
So what is it good for?

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:25.339
Three specific operations and I will show you each one with the relevant prompts.

00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:28.919
First operation. Checking completeness.

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:31.779
You already have a privacy notice.

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:34.400
Maybe a consultant wrote it.

00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:37.000
Maybe you inherited it.

00:01:37.580 --> 00:01:40.559
You want to know if anything is missing.

00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:43.900
This is a perfect task for the model.

00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:48.879
Comparing a text against a list of requirements.

00:01:49.559 --> 00:01:57.360
The prompt. Act as a DPO with experience in GDPR compliance audits.

00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:05.199
I am providing you with a privacy notice issued under article 13 of the GDPR.

00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:12.740
Verify whether it contains all elements required by paragraphs 1 and 2.

00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:19.119
For each element, indicate present, absent or incomplete.

00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:23.559
If incomplete, explain what is missing.

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.500
Present the result in tabular format.

00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:32.660
Paste the text and you get a requirements map.

00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:38.699
But be careful. The model sees form, not substance.

00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:44.660
Data will be retained for as long as strictly necessary.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:48.160
The model marks it as present.

00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:51.360
In reality, it says nothing.

00:02:51.940 --> 00:02:57.000
So the table is a starting point, not a green light.

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.660
Second operation. Simplifying the language.

00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.220
Article 12 of the GDPR is clear.

00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:10.320
Simple language, concise form, intelligible content.

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:15.220
But how many privacy notices actually meet that standard?

00:03:15.839 --> 00:03:22.479
Very few. And when they do not, the notice itself becomes a transparency problem.

00:03:23.179 --> 00:03:31.639
The prompt. Rewrite this paragraph of a privacy notice in clear language suitable for a non-expert user.

00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.619
Maintain legal accuracy.

00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:40.779
Where technical terms are needed, add an explanation in parentheses.

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.240
The tone should be professional, not bureaucratic.

00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:51.899
This works particularly well on legal basis and international transfers.

00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.380
But always review the result carefully.

00:03:55.380 --> 00:04:01.779
The model in making the text more readable might cut something important.

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:11.979
For example, it might simplify legitimate interest without mentioning the balancing test against the data subject's rights.

00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.839
And that is not a minor detail.

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:18.799
Third operation. Adapting to different contexts.

00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:22.640
You have a solid privacy notice for your website.

00:04:22.640 --> 00:04:25.799
Now you need one for employees.

00:04:26.559 --> 00:04:27.660
Or for an app.

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:29.940
Or for a new service.

00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:36.640
The model can help, but you must provide the specific information yourself.

00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:43.100
The prompt. I am providing you with the privacy notice for our website.

00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:46.839
I need to produce a version for employees.

00:05:15.339 --> 00:05:16.779
The processing activities are

00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:23.820
Notice. I have provided the processing activities, providers, and retention periods.

00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.059
I did not ask the model to guess them.

00:05:27.579 --> 00:05:31.640
If you do not provide this data, it will make them up.

00:05:32.179 --> 00:05:39.119
And a privacy notice with made-up processing activities is worse than having none at all.

00:05:39.239 --> 00:05:40.279
The three premises.

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:44.799
As always, the three premises from the first episode.

00:05:44.799 --> 00:05:46.760
Human oversight.

00:05:47.579 --> 00:05:54.480
A privacy notice drafted or reviewed with AI must be read in full before publication.

00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.440
The signature is the controllers, not the models.

00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:01.600
Regulatory framework.

00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.519
In the employee prompt, you shared providers and internal processes.

00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:14.359
If the model is cloud-based, that data is being transmitted to a third party.

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:19.420
Verify the data processing agreement with the provider first.

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:20.779
Infrastructure.

00:06:21.859 --> 00:06:26.920
If you process special categories of data, consider a local model.

00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.899
The structure of your processing activities is valuable information.

00:06:31.899 --> 00:06:37.119
It does not necessarily need to end up on someone else's server.

00:06:37.559 --> 00:06:38.839
My closing remarks.

00:06:39.779 --> 00:06:41.839
Check. Simplify. Adapt.

00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:46.160
Three operations where AI genuinely helps.

00:06:46.799 --> 00:06:52.700
If you drive them with real data and verify the output yourself.

00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:57.519
This is legal prompting applied to privacy notices.

00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.519
Not a shortcut, but a method.

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:07.679
The model assists, but professional judgment remains yours.

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.940
Next time, we will talk about RAG.

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.980
Retrieval Augmented Generation.

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:16.859
What it is.

00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.140
Why it can be very useful in the legal field.

00:07:21.140 --> 00:07:27.299
And why, if poorly configured, it becomes a serious risk.

00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.859
