The "OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data" have provided general guidance on the handling of personal information in the public and private sectors since 1980. The Guidelines : represent an international consensus on how best to balance effective privacy protection with the free flow of personal data; are technology-neutral, flexible, allow for various means of compliance, and apply in all environments, including on global networks; have been put to use in a large number of national regulatory and self-regulatory instruments and are still widely used in both the public and private sectors. 1, record 1, English, - OECD%20Guidelines%20on%20the%20Protection%20of%20Privacy%20and%20Transborder%20Flows%20of%20Personal%20Data

Les «Lignes directrices de l'OCDE sur la protection de la vie privée et les flux transfrontières de données de caractère personnel», adoptées le 23 septembre 1980, traduisent toujours un consensus international sur les orientations générales concernant le recueil et la gestion d'informations de caractère personnel. En définissant les principes essentiels applicables dans ce domaine, les Lignes directrices jouent un rôle important en aidant les gouvernements, les entreprises et les représentants des consommateurs, à protéger la vie privée et les données personnelles, tout en évitant des restrictions inutiles aux flux transfrontières de données, en ligne ou hors ligne. 1, record 1, French, - Lignes%20directrices%20de%20l%27OCDE%20sur%20la%20protection%20de%20la%20vie%20priv%C3%A9e%20et%20les%20flux%20transfronti%C3%A8res%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20de%20caract%C3%A8re%20personnel
