CNIL examines draft decree on real‑time audio capture by public transport operators

What happened

The CNIL plenary session on 15 October 2026 will examine a draft deliberation providing an opinion on a draft decree concerning the experimentation of real‑time sound capture and transmission systems by bus and coach operators. The agenda also includes a communication on compliance modalities for a “multi‑property” consent and a presentation of a study on data‑protection value creation in finance.

Why it matters for trust and compliance

• Its status is proposed. It is not law yet. Track it, but do not treat it as an obligation.
• The proposal could introduce new privacy obligations for transport operators capturing audio in real time.
