security-global-data-protection

A set of rules for protecting personal and sensitive data in software. It covers data classification, encryption, privacy, key management, retention, consent, and deletion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing or reviewing data storage and transfer, choosing encryption controls, documenting data flows, setting retention rules, managing keys, and building data export or deletion processes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent sensitive information from being exposed while it moves between systems or is stored. It also guides teams to collect less data and manage access and encryption keys safely.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 20 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 308 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

security-global-data-protection scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Data Protection & Privacy

These rules apply throughout the application and aimed at maintaining data security and privacy throughout the application.

Data Classification

  • Classify data based on sensitivity
  • Apply appropriate controls based on classification
  • Document data flows and storage locations
  • Implement data minimization principles

Encryption

Data in Transit

  • Use TLS 1.2+ for all connections
  • Configure secure TLS settings
  • Enforce HTTPS through HSTS
  • Apply proper certificate management
  • Validate certificates

Data at Rest

  • Encrypt sensitive data before storage
  • Use strong encryption algorithms (AES-256, ChaCha20)
  • Implement proper key management
  • Consider using envelope encryption
  • Rotate encryption keys periodically

Key Management

  • Securely store encryption keys
  • Separate keys from encrypted data
  • Implement key rotation procedures
  • Use a key management service when possible
  • Apply the principle of least privilege to key access

Data Minimization & Privacy

  • Collect only necessary data
  • Implement data retention policies
  • Provide mechanisms for data export and deletion
  • Implement consent management
  • Apply privacy by design principles

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • Storing sensitive data in plaintext
  • Hardcoding encryption keys or secrets
  • Implementing custom encryption algorithms
  • Failing to validate certificates
  • Storing sensitive data in logs or error messages

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

security-global-data-protection is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository AdobeDocs/ff-services-docs (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 308 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
