Confidentiality - policy
Law n° 51-711 of 7 June 1951 on obligations, co-ordination and confidentiality in
respect of statistics. Available from https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000000888573.
Article 6 concerns statistical confidentiality: Subject to the provisions of Articles
40, 56, 76, 97 and 99 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and those of Article L. 213-3
of the French Heritage Code, the individual information contained in the questionnaires
endorsed as provided for in Article 2 of this Law and relating to private and family
life and, in general, to private acts and conduct can not, unless decided by the Archives
Administration, after examining the opinion of the Statistical Confidentiality Committee
and relating to a request made for the purposes of public statistics or scientific
or historical research, be the subject of any communication by the depositary service
before the expiry of a period of seventy-five years following the date of completion
of the survey or a period of twenty-five years from the death of the person concerned,
whichever is the shorter.
A Statistical Confidentiality Committee is set up. This committee is called upon to
rule on any question relating to the confidentiality of statistics. It expresses its
opinion on requests for the communication of individual data collected pursuant to
this law. The committee is chaired by a State Councillor, appointed by the Vice-President
of the Council of State. It includes in particular representatives of the French National
Assembly and Senate. The composition and operating methods of the committee are set
by decree of the Council of State. Recipients of the data communications resulting
from Ministerial decisions made after consulting the Statistical Confidentiality Committee
agree to not communicate these data to anyone. Any violation of the provisions of
this paragraph is punishable by the penalties provided for in Article 226-13 of the
Penal Code.
Confidentiality - data treatment
For companies that choose to use the Internet, the collection site is completely secure
and the standards for managing survey access codes are strict. For companies that
choose to use paper, the data entry is carried out by the managers, with strict respect
for the confidentiality of the data collected.
Before the dissemination of the data, the confidentiality rules on the data are applied.
For company data: no results are published for less than three companies or establishments.
Similarly, a result will only be disclosed if no company or establishment contributes
more than 85% of that result. Primary deletions correspond to boxes that do not meet
the above criteria. Secondary secrecy removes other boxes so that the data cannot
be retrieved by subtraction with the margins of the tables. Statistical confidentiality
is defined in Act No. 51-711 of 7 June 1951."
