On August 20, the CNIL provided guidance on the measures to be taken by health
researchers who modify the initial purposes for data processing
(source document in French). A significant change in the purposes
for data processing may require prior authorization from the CNIL
in certain circumstances (such as research involving the human
body). Health research is one of the few exceptions where the CNIL
still requires authorization prior to implementation of data
processing.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
