Data is essential to the functioning of the digital economy. When data relates to an identified or identifiable individual, either directly or indirectly, it is referred to as personal data.
Committed to protecting the fundamental right to privacy without hindering economic development and innovation, France, through the 1978 Data Protection Act, and the European Union, through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), regulate the use of personal data. In particular, this legal framework guarantees individuals rights that allow them to retain a certain degree of control over how their data is used.
At CB, data sovereignty and the protection of personal data are a priority. Recognising the importance of transparency, CB has, among other measures, appointed a Data Protection Officer and implemented a Personal Data Protection Policy.
