Command

/arckit:fr-rgpd Assess CNIL compliance for <project or processing activity>

Output: projects/<id>/ARC-<id>-CNIL-v1.0.md

Review Checklist

  • EU GDPR assessment (ARC-<id>-RGPD-v*.md) completed first.
  • CNIL référentiel applicable to the sector identified.
  • Cookie consent mechanism compliant with Délibération 2020-091.
  • Health data: HDS certification required for health data hosting in France.
  • Age verification mechanism for services targeting minors (age 15 threshold in France).
  • Biometric processing: CNIL authorisation or applicable exemption identified.
  • DPO registered with CNIL if obligatory.
  • CNIL prior consultation assessed for high-risk residual processing.

Key Notes

  • HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé): Any hosting of personal health data in France requires HDS certification — stricter than GDPR alone.
  • Age 15: France chose 15 as the digital consent age (GDPR allows 13–16) — platforms must verify age for minor users.
  • Biometric data: CNIL requires authorisation for most biometric processing (workplace access control is a common case).
  • Scope: Supplements /arckit:eu-rgpd. Do not run in isolation — EU GDPR baseline must be established first.
