French Data Protection Officers are ready for the European Data Protection Day
01 February 2012
The celebration of the European Data Protection Day – the 6th edition held on January 28, 2012, will give the Data Protection Authorities an opportunity for all independent authorities in the EU to remind everyone of their elementary right to privacy. This year, the CNIL has developed a “Communication tool-kit” designed for their Correspondant Informatique et Libertés (CIL - French Data Protection Officer) in order to promote the law and their profession.
French Data Protection Officers regularly express their wish to be supported and helped by the CNIL to promote the Data Protection Act and their profession through communication actions. This need is particularly acute on the eve of the European Data Protection Day, organized every year on January 28 since 2007.
In that context, the CNIL has attempted to meet their expectations by providing them with a "communication tool-kit". This Kit includes posters, stickers and postcards dedicated to the CIL duties and to the European Data Protection Day.
These tools pursue a double objective:
• to make the CIL more visible within its organization;
• to diffuse the Data Protection culture as widely as possible.
In that regard, a questionnaire on Data Protection in daily practice is also available to French DPO. It is aimed at raising the awareness of their colleagues, clients, family or friends, in a playful and interactive manner.
This "communication tool-kit" comes in addition to the tools provided by the CNIL on its website and to those exclusively dedicated to CIL available on the extranet.
It will usefully contribute to improving the compliance with the Data Protection Act and the rights granted by it to any person whose data are processed.
