In accordance with the Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on Data Processing, Data Files and Individual Liberties (the French Data Protection Act), as amended, and the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR), the Road Safety Delegation (the Déléguée interministérielle à la Sécurité Routière), in its capacity as data controller, has established a "system for registration of vehicles" which comprises:

 

  • the vehicle registration system (SIV), the "heart"
  • the electronic payment information system (SIT)
  • the pre-application authorisation and approval application (APD)
  • the decision-making system for the vehicle registration system (SID)
  • the system of electronic services for carrying out administrative procedures relating to vehicle registration certificates: SIV-PPNG
  • the granting of commercial licences to use the data of the SIV

(e) Establishing a centralised, up-to-date database to facilitate the investigation and detection of registration fraud, and to enable the recovery of debts

 

(f) Establishing a centralised and up-to-date database to facilitate the reconciliation of an offending vehicle and its technical characteristics with the registrant of the registration certificate

 

(g) Establishing a centralised and up-to-date database facilitating the reconciliation of a vehicle that has suffered damage and its technical characteristics with the registrant of the registration certificate.

 

(h) Contributing to the re-use of data for technical and statistical purposes by licenced users

 

(i) Contributing to the re-use of data for commercial purposes by licenced users


 

Hereinafter, the purposes (a) through (g) will be referred to as the "initial purposes" and purposes (h) and (i) will be referred to as the "re-use purposes".

For purpose (f) the processing is subject to the police and justice directive (Title III of the French Data Protection Act (the Law No. 78-17).


 

The legal basis for this processing is:

  • Traceability data

 

These data are retained for a period of:

 

  • for data identifying the registrant and co-registrant of the vehicle registration certificate: 5 years as from the date of the physical destruction of the vehicle.
  • for data relating to the vehicle and the authorisation to drive the vehicle: 5 years as from the date of the physical destruction of the vehicle.
  • for data relating to requests made via electronic services intended for the completion of administrative procedures: immediate purge (electronic procedure abandoned), 6 months from the last modification (electronic procedure not validated or pending), 5 years (electronic procedure validated, rejected or accepted), 3 months from the last modification (vehicle transfer code).
  • for data relating to professionals authorised to transmit data to the SIV: 5 years after the withdrawal or termination of the authorisation.
