An official source of government digital data collects, uses or communicates government digital data, or collects information, including personal information, from any person, where necessary for an administrative or public service purpose.

The Government specifies the government digital data concerned and the administrative or public service purposes for which such data may be the subject of a mobility or valorization authorization. It may determine the public bodies that must collect such data from the source and use them or that must communicate them to the source.

Public bodies referred to in an order made under this section must comply with the rules or measures established by the Government under paragraphs 4 and 5 of section 12.21.

Despite the first paragraph, where the government digital data concerned are held by the Minister of Health and Social Services or by any public body within the Minister’s portfolio, the official source of government digital data is designated under this section on the recommendation of that Minister.
