CNIL

The CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés) is a French government authority responsible for protecting individuals’ personal data. It ensures organizations handle data like names, addresses, and online activity responsibly and in compliance with privacy laws. CNIL’s role includes overseeing data collection practices, promoting transparency, and enforcing regulations to prevent misuse or breaches. It also provides guidance and can impose penalties if data privacy rules are not followed, helping to safeguard citizens’ rights in our increasingly digital world.
