Right of indirect access (general data)

For some **sensitive files** (information files, FICOBA, etc.), the law does not allow direct consultation. Any person can then ask the CNIL to verify, on his behalf, whether any information about him is stored in these files. For police files, such as the Processing of Judicial History (TAJ), persons have, on the basis of Decree no. 2018-687 of 1 August 2018, a right of access and direct rectification: they must send their request to the Ministry of the Interior and no longer to the CNIL. It is now only if, at the end of a period of two months, this ministry opposes them a restriction or does not respond to them, that they have the right to refer the matter to the CNIL for the indirect exercise of their rights. This **indirect access right** (DAI) allows the verification of these files by certain members of the CNIL (magistrats). The applicant shall be informed of the action taken on these checks. The dataset contains the number of files received each year by the CNIL since 1984, as well as the number of checks carried out. ** Warning**: for any question about the operation of the files and the help that the CNIL can give you, **please do not use the “Discussions” below**, which are visible to all and reserved for exchanges on published data sets; **use the Need for help service (https://www.cnil.fr/fr/cnil-direct) or contact the CNIL on 01 53 73 22 22**.
