Lesson 3 • Governance

Data Boundaries & Privacy (Non-negotiables)

In community settings, privacy is trust. Governance must define what data is never allowed in AI tools and how data is handled when it must be used.

Estimated time: 20 minutes Policy-ready Risk-aware

Key concepts

Define prohibited data (PII, PHI, case notes, sensitive identifiers).
Prefer de-identified, aggregated, or synthetic examples.
Document retention, deletion, and access rules.

Practice Exercise

Draft your ‘Do Not Paste’ list (10 items) and your ‘Allowed with conditions’ list (5 items).

Template (copy/paste)

ROLE: You are my governance assistant.
TASK: Draft a data boundary policy for AI tools.
OUTPUT: Do/Don't lists + safe redaction rules + staff checklist.
CONSTRAINTS: Keep it practical; include examples.

Governance note: policies should be enforceable, reviewed regularly, and owned by accountable roles—not “everyone.”
