Abstract

The French legislator in 1978 founded the first independent administrative body to control the activities of public authorities, then gradually to control private subjects with the use of the computer for analysing the personal data of citizens.
CNIL is an administrative body which is independent of the government or parliament as its constitution and method of activity confirm. Constitutional, administrative and regular judges control the National Board for computer technology and freedoms. It guarantees respecting a certain number of principles which are common to all similar bodies in the European Union.
Due to this, the Board mainly carries out previous controls of the decision on implementing analysis of personal data which are even stricter if it is a case of endangering freedom.
However, the Board more and more often carries out additional controls upon citizen request or of its own accord. The consequence can be sentencing the persons responsible for data analysis.
