Audit expectation
none

What it requires

  • If you are STATEC or another body of the national statistical system, do not disclose confidential data when you publish statistical results; data used to produce statistics is confidential where it allows a natural or legal person to be identified, directly or indirectly (Loi du 10 juillet 2011, Article 16).
  • Reserve access to identifiable statistical data to the people charged with producing the statistics, and anonymise the data as soon as identifying the statistical units, in particular natural persons, is no longer necessary in the production chain (Article 16).

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Article 16 sets the non-disclosure rule, the restriction of access to the people producing the statistics and the anonymisation of identifiable data once identification is no longer needed. It requires no log, register or record.

The national statistics institute STATEC must guarantee that confidential data is not disclosed when it publishes statistical results (Article 16). Data used to produce statistics counts as confidential where it allows a natural or legal person to be identified, directly or indirectly, or carries a risk of disclosing individual information (Article 16).

Access to identifiable statistical data is reserved to the people charged with producing the statistics, and the data must be anonymised as soon as identifying the statistical units, in particular natural persons, is no longer necessary in the production chain (Article 16). The same article applies by analogy to the other bodies of the national statistical system (Article 16).

STATEC officials and the people who collect information or help with statistical work are personally responsible for observing these rules, and Article 458 of the Criminal Code applies to them (Article 16).
