GDPR in France – Decree n°2019-536 (May 29, 2019) implementing the French Data Protection Act

This Decree finally ends the process of adapting national law to the GDPR: with its publication, the entire new legal framework came into force. The French Data Protection Act (or the « FDPA ») and its implementing Decree n°2019-536 now allow individuals and organizations handling data to more clearly understand their rights and obligations with regard to the protection of personal data.
