23/01/2023 | CNIL

France's data protection authority, the CNIL, has launched a public consultation concerning economic issues associated with data collection and processing by mobile applications. In its announcement, the CNIL confirmed its objective, a priority identified in its 2022-2024 strategic plan, is "to make data flows visible and strengthen the compliance of mobile applications and their ecosystems, to better protect the privacy of users." Furthermore, it added the approach "should make it possible to measure the potential impact of the CNIL's regulatory choices on French, European and international players, particularly on the aspects of competition and innovation." The consultation is open until 10 February 2023.
