Data transfer from WHATSAPP to FACEBOOK: CNIL publicly serves formal notice for lack of legal basis | CNIL: "This decision also results from the fact that the company WhatsApp insufficiently cooperated with the CNIL which couldn’t fully control the compliance of the processing carried out, when it contributes to the increase in the amount of information Facebook Inc. has at its disposal, including information about individuals who have not registered for its social network.
For the record, the CNIL wishes to state that formal notices are not sanctions and no further action will be taken if the company complies with the Act within the specified timescale, in which case the notice proceedings will be closed and this decision will also be made public.
Should WHATSAPP fail to comply with the formal notice within the specified timescale, the Chair may appoint an internal investigator, who may draw up a report proposing that the CNIL’s restricted committee responsible for examining breaches of the Data Protection Act issue a sanction against the company."
