Nex GDPR#

GDPR Data Request Handler for agency operators running OpenClaw for clients. Automate compliance with data subject rights (Articles 15-21 of GDPR/AVG). Register requests, scan for personal data, process erasure/access/portability, generate response letters, and maintain audit trails.

When to Use#

Use this skill when you need to:

• Register and manage GDPR data subject requests (inzageverzoek, verwijderverzoek, etc.)
• Process Right to Access requests (Article 15 - inzagerecht): Locate all personal data and compile export packages
• Process Right to Erasure requests (Article 17 - verwijderrecht): Identify and securely delete personal data
• Process Right to Data Portability requests (Article 20 - recht op gegevensoverdracht): Export in machine-readable format
• Process Right to Rectification requests (Article 16 - recht op correctie): Track and apply corrections
• Track Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18 - recht op beperking)
• Handle Right to Object (Article 21 - recht van verzet)
• Scan for personal data across OpenClaw sessions, logs, and databases
• Generate compliance response letters in Dutch and English
• Maintain audit trails for every action taken
• Monitor compliance deadlines (30-day GDPR response deadline)
• Manage data retention policies and auto-cleanup
• Export compliance reports for documentation

bash

nex-gdpr new --type access --name "Jan Peeters" --email "jan@example.be" --id "user_jan_123"

Request types: ACCESS, ERASURE, PORTABILITY, RECTIFICATION, RESTRICTION, OBJECTION

Architecture#

Storage#

• SQLite Database at ~/.nex-gdpr/gdpr.db
• Tables: requests, data_findings, audit_trail, retention_policies
• Indexes on status, type, deadline for fast queries

Data Scanning#

• OpenClaw Sessions: Scans .openclaw/sessions and .claw/sessions
• Agent Memory: Scans .nex-memory directory
• Logs: Scans .nex-logs for user references
• Other Databases: Scans other nex-* skill databases
• PII Detection: Email, phone, national numbers, VAT numbers

Request Processing#

• ACCESS: Creates ZIP export of all found data
• ERASURE: Securely deletes files (3-pass overwrite)
• PORTABILITY: Exports JSON format with metadata
• RECTIFICATION: Tracks corrections to personal data
• All actions logged with timestamps and actor information

Compliance#

• 30-day Response Deadline: Automatically calculated from GDPR Article 12
• 60-day Extension: For complex requests (logged and tracked)
• Audit Trail: Every action recorded (scanning, verification, processing, completion)
• Response Letters: Generated in Dutch (AVG) and English (GDPR)
• Retention Policies: Configurable per data type (default 1 year, audit 7 years)

Data Locations Scanned#

The scanner searches the following locations for personal data:

• ~/.openclaw/sessions - OpenClaw session files
• ~/.claw/sessions - Alternative Claw sessions
• ~/.nex-memory - Agent memory files
• ~/.nex-logs - Application logs
• ~/.nex-uploads - Uploaded files
• Other nex-* skill databases (life-logger, inbox, notes, etc.)

Configurable via environment variables:

bash

export OPENCLAW_SESSIONS="/custom/sessions/path"
export NEX_GDPR_SCAN_PATHS="/path1:/path2:/path3"
