The enactment of Law No. 2018-493 represents a significant milestone in France’s implementation of the new European corpus on data protection.
Key Points:
..The new law increases fines and considerably reinforces the CNIL’s powers, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the regulator’s actions.
..The new law implements derogations to the GDPR that apply to French residents, regardless of the data controller’s country of establishment.
..French law will further adapt to the new European corpus in the coming months.
