French privacy watchdog includes digital ID, AI and minor protection in strategic plan

2025-01-27  Per Henrikson

Digital identity, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and protecting minors online will be the main areas of focus for the French privacy watchdog. When it comes to digital IDs and mobile applications, the agency’s main task will be ensuring user privacy. Digital IDs are an opportunity for businesses and public authorities to introduce secure user identification and authentication and increase trust in the digital economy, says the agency. This is why it has published privacy recommendations aimed at app developers. The watchdog pledges to work with European authorities on implementing the eIDAS Regulation and the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet and contribute to the development and use of privacy-friendly online identity and age verification solutions.
