Safari

Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAF : Safari

SAFARI was an attempt by the French government to create a centralized database of personal data. On March 21 1974 an article in the newspaper Le Monde brought public attention to the project. The massive popular rejection of this project promoted the creation of the CNIL to ensure data privacy.

SAFARI stands for Système Automatisé pour les Fichiers Administratifs et le Répertoire des Individus, "Automated System for Administrative Files and the Repertory of Individuals".
