Article 16 prohibits processing biometric data and personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, filiation, political opinion, religious or philosophical belief, trade-union membership, sex, health, or sexual life, unless the data subject gives explicit written consent (withdrawable at any time, at no cost), or the processing falls within a listed exception: a labour-law obligation, protecting the data subject's or another's vital interest, a human-rights association's activity authorized by ANSICE, a social-security purpose, establishing or defending a legal claim, data the data subject has manifestly made public, historical, statistical, or scientific research on conditions ANSICE sets, public-statistics law, preventive medicine or health-service administration under a health professional's supervision, or another important public-interest ground a law permits.
Article 17 confines this processing to written consent or a health professional's responsibility, binding that professional and their staff to confidentiality.
Article 18 separately prohibits processing genetic data and personal data revealing health-related secrets, subject to a similarly structured list of exceptions, and article 20 requires that any such processing use a unique patient identifier distinct from other identification numbers, interconnectable with another identifying number only with ANSICE's express authorization.
Article 24 confines processing a minor's personal data to the representation rules the law sets for the exercise of a minor's own rights.
