The members of the CNIL meet in plenary sessions once a week on an agenda drawn up by its Chairman.

It analyses, in a general way, the consequences of technological developments on privacy.

A large part of these meetings is devoted to examining draft texts (laws, decrees, etc.) submitted to the CNIL for an opinion by the Government or Parliament.

The CNIL's restricted panel is composed of five members and a Chairman who is not the Chairman of the CNIL. It can impose various sanctions on data controllers who do not comply with the law. With the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the amount of financial penalties can be up to 20 million euros or in the case of a company up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover. These financial penalties may be made public.
