On 12 June 2024, the National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) adopted its recommendations on the opening and reuse of data published on the Internet. The recommendations aim to help professionals balance their responsibilities with individuals' privacy rights when opening and reusing data published on the Internet. The initiative responds to the increasing use of data sharing driven by regulatory movements and the varied use of freely accessible online data by public and private organisations for purposes such as fraud prevention, commercial canvassing, and scientific research. The CNIL's resources include practical recommendations and examples to assist open data distributors and data reusers in understanding their obligations. The resources aim to ensure that data processing is lawful, that individuals are informed, and that their rights are respected.
