国家信息和自由委员会（CNIL）发布了《区块链：CNIL分析的主要元素》，这是一份关于区块链和欧盟通用数据保护条例（GDPR）的文件。该文件由法国数据保护局（DPA）发布，作为工作政策文件，概述了其对区块链技术及其遵守GDPR的初步思考。
CNIL指出，GDPR的制定是为了规范数据使用，而不是任何特定形式的技术。因此，对于任何熟悉隐私法的人来说，CNIL表示GDPR适用于在处理个人数据的任何情况下使用区块链。然而，这份工作文件是一份非常原始的分析。在我们看来，该文件提出的问题比它回答的问题更多-并强调了GDPR分类下区块链上不同参与者资格的一些法律的不确定性。在几个领域，CNIL强调需要对其进行更多的反思，并且需要在欧洲一级进行反思。
The Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertes (CNIL), has published “Blockchain: Premiers elements d’analyse de la CNIL”, a document on blockchain and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This document was released by the French Data Protection Authority (DPA) as a working policy paper and offers an overview of its initial reflection on the Blockchain technology and its compliance with the GDPR.
The CNIL notes the GDPR has been created to regulate data use, rather than any particular form of technology. As such, and without surprise to anyone familiar with privacy law, the CNIL states the GDPR applies to the use of blockchain in any instance where personal data is handled. However, this working paper is a very raw analysis. In our opinion, the document raises more questions than it answers – and highlights some legal uncertainty with respect to the qualifications of different actors on a blockchain under the GDPR taxonomy. In several areas, the CNIL highlights that more reflection is needed on its end, and that this reflection needs to be undertaken at the European level.
