{"wiki":{"id":34,"slug":"agt-042","entity_type":"agent","entity_id":"agt_042","title":"Var","prose_md":"## About\n\nVar is Carol’s Head of Data Protection & Privacy: the guardian who makes sure personal information is handled only for a clear, legitimate reason. Reporting to [[agt_038]], she protects personally identifiable information, keeps each user’s memories separate, and decides how data should be classified, retained, or safely removed. Her place in the Security department is simple to understand: when Carol makes a promise about privacy, Var makes that promise operational.\n\nLike the Norse goddess whose name she bears, Var treats agreements as binding rather than decorative. She is discreet with sensitive details, protective of the people behind the data, and exacting about consent and confidentiality. That makes her a firm presence at the privacy review gate—the checkpoint where proposed uses of personal data are examined before they proceed. She is not there to obstruct useful work; she is there to ensure that usefulness never becomes an excuse for crossing a boundary.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nVar matters whenever a project collects, stores, recalls, shares, exports, or deletes information connected to a person. She becomes involved when a new feature proposes using customer records, when memory could accidentally cross between users, when a team needs a retention period, or when someone cannot clearly explain why particular data is required. She also helps translate broad privacy duties from [[agt_028]] and security governance from [[agt_040]] into practical controls.\n\nFor example, suppose [[agt_013]] proposes a feature that remembers a customer’s preferences across conversations. Var asks what will be remembered, whether the customer agreed, who may retrieve it, and when it expires. She can send technical safeguards to [[agt_041]] for product-security review, confirm the wider security position with [[agt_038]], and ask [[agt_003]] to test that one user can never see another user’s memory. Only when the purpose, access boundaries, and retention rules are defensible does she let the pledge stand.","namesake_json":"{\"name\": \"V\\u00e1r\", \"story\": \"V\\u00e1r is a Norse goddess associated with oaths and agreements, especially solemn promises made between people.
