CNIL asked in vain to better control files … – Clubic.com

On the occasion of the presentation of its annual report, the CNIL book again his feelings about the bill on intelligence. The authority requires more checks on the files in which the personal information will be stored.

The CNIL renewed his criticism of the bill relating to intelligence. The organization is concerned about the lack of planned control over access to files created by the intelligence services. “ We asked to exercise control over the files already made but this has been denied us ,” said Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, the President of the Commission.

If news allows CNIL to express themselves, the agency acts in a context of increasing its activity. In his report for 2014, the commission says that as many as 11,000 individual requests made to it. In this figure, 39% regard online reputation. Requests for access to police files, gendarmerie or information are up 22%.

In response to this increase, the CNIL cautions that its objective remains the reconciliation of strengthening freedoms of persons and the protection of personal data. In this context, the institution reiterated his comments and said that “ Bill is silent on what happens to the data once it feeds the intelligence files that already exist. It says nothing about what is happening in its files. [...] In terms of the approval of these data, when the information is in the intelligence community, there are still questions. On this point the text is completely silent . “

The CNIL finally surprised that no information monitoring role has been assigned. “ We are entitled defense secrets, we have judges, it is not clear why this would be the only files that are outside the control of an external authority because we are ready to work with the CNCTR ” insists Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin.


Another major issue for the CNIL, his power for control applications dereference in the right to oblivion. The Commission states that it received 260 complaints about treatment by search engines. No less than 90 were then sent to the company, about twenty then been de-referencing. “ Others are waiting for answers, knowing that many issues are still not educated ,” said the authority.

Among the other news of the attack included the CNIL to against the practices carried out by Facebook for personal data. The agency explains that a collective and concerted action is supported by France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. These national actions are under coordination of the Netherlands and should soon lead to concrete movements. The CNIL considers, however, that it is too early to comment on the issue.

Finally, regarding how sites manage cookies, the Commission has recently launched a cycle to verify that the sites Internet advertising using cookies obtain the prior consent of the internet. On the issue, the CNIL made the choice not to dwell more on the subject, the end of the controls being provided in a month.
