What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 3(11) defines sensitive data as data relating to religious, philosophical, political, or union opinions or activities, sexual life or racial origin, health, social measures, prosecutions, or penal or administrative sanctions, and article 9 prohibits any processing of it outright, given the risks of discrimination and harm to persons' rights and freedoms.

Article 9 permits sensitive data to be processed by derogation only where the Autorité de Protection des Données à Caractère Personnel has defined appropriate safeguards for the processing, and only where the processing is necessary to safeguard the life of the data subject or a third party where the data subject cannot give consent because of a legal incapacity or a material impossibility, is carried out by a non-profit religious, philosophical, political, or union association or body solely to manage its own members, or is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend a right in court.

Article 10 confines any processing of personal data relating to offences and convictions to courts and public authorities managing a public service and acting within their legal powers, judicial auxiliaries acting for the strict needs of the duties the law assigns them, and other legal persons handling, for the strict needs of managing contentious matters, offences of which they were themselves the victim.
