The Lyon Metropolis adopts a charter for "the management, sharing and use of data"

Since July 10, the Lyon Metropolitan Area and its partners have had a territorial data charter highlighting best practices in the area of data protection.

The Lyon Metropolitan Area and its partners now have a territorial data charter. The result of collective work since 2024, this charter aims to support best practices in the area of data protection. The charter's objectives: the protection of personal data, security, sovereignty, and data sobriety, transparency in data use, and cooperation between institutions and private stakeholders on data development and sharing.

"With this Charter, we want to provide our territory with a framework that complements the existing legal framework for the management, sharing and use of data. There is a real challenge for our territories and their stakeholders to become accustomed to data and to fully grasp its capabilities, as well as to measure its risks," explains Emeline Baume, Vice-President of the Metropolis responsible for digital technology.

The Metropolis specifies that the charter is intended to apply to data produced by all types of actors "used in the context of public policies or services in the territory of the Lyon Metropolis supported by the signatories." It is intended to be implemented among the actors involved in these public policies, in particular in public procurement, concession contracts or delegations of public services.
