This kind of information sharing raises some online privacy concerns. To that extend the French Ministry of Finance has provided some measures that will be put in place to guarantee the protection of personal data. These measures are:
- B2C transactions will not contain any personal data. Transaction data will be aggregated.
- B2B transactions will not contain any more information than it is already necessary for an invoice to contain.
- National Commission for Computing and Liberties has given a green light to the continuation of this project.
- Dematerialization platforms will be subject to registration for a renewable period of 3 years.
- The platforms will have to be compliant with business secrecy rules as well as GDPR.
