Summary

The French DPA (CNIL) has fined Société nouvelle de l'annuaire français (SNAF) EUR 3,000. SNAF operates the website annuairefrancais.fr, which lists French companies based on data published by the French Statistical Office.

Between 2018 and 2019, the CNIL received sixteen complaints indicating problems in requesting the erasure and rectification of personal data.

In response, the CNIL requested SNAF to comply with the requests within two months, which SNAF failed to do.

As a result, the CNIL imposed the fine on SNAF, mainly for non-compliance with the rights of rectification and erasure of the data subjects and for lack of cooperation with the CNIL.
