Traffic-light guidance for what data may enter which classes of AI tools — green, amber, red — with examples executives can socialize.

- Amber: confidential business data only in tools with contractual protections and admin controls; minimize paste.
- Red: secrets, material non-public information, special category personal data, privileged legal advice content — blocked without special systems.
