The French Supreme Administrative Court (Conseil d'Etat) ruled that the French legal framework on access to and retention of connection data (identity data, traffic data, and location data) for the purposes of combating crime and safeguarding national security is compatible with the CJEU Joined Cases C-511/18, C-512/18 and C-520/18 and Case C‑623/17.
English Summary
Facts
In its Joined Cases C-511/18, C-512/18 and C-520/18 and Case C‑623/17, the CJEU found that EU law precludes national legislation from requiring a provider of electronic communications services to carry out a general and indiscriminate transmission or retention of traffic and location data for the purpose of combating crime in general or safeguarding national security.
However, the Court said, when combating serious crime and preventing serious threats to public security, a Member State may also provide for the targeted retention of that data as well as its expedited retention, given that such an interference with fundamental rights is accompanied by effective safeguards and is reviewed by a court or by an independent administrative authority.
