# French National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) Dataset (06/04/2025)

## Dataset Description


The CNIL Dataset is a curated collection of documents from the French National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/search/cnil).
This dataset is sourced from [DILA/OPENDATA/CNIL](https://echanges.dila.gouv.fr/OPENDATA/CNIL/) and provides detailed records of decisions and deliberations made by CNIL, which governs data privacy and personal data regulation in France.
It serves as a rich resource for machine learning engineers interested in exploring regulatory texts, legal reasoning, and related applications in the legal domain.

**Remarks**:
