What this law does
Article 48 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés requires a controller that collects personal data from a minor under fifteen to give the minor the information General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 13 lists, in clear and easily accessible language. Article 51 II requires a controller, on the person's request, to erase without delay personal data collected in offering an information society service where the person was a minor when it was collected.
A controller that passed the data to another controller must take reasonable steps, technical ones included, to tell it that the person asked for erasure of any link to, copy or reproduction of the data. If the controller does not erase the data or does not answer within one month, the person can refer the request to the CNIL, which decides within three weeks.
