French term or phrase: Informatique et Libertés
This is in reference to the CNIL law:

"La loi "Informatique et Libertés" du 6 janvier 1978 modifiée par la loi du 6 août 2004 encadre la mise en oeuvre des fichiers ou des traitements de données à caractère personnel qu’ils soient automatisés ou manuels.
Les responsables de ces fichiers ou traitements ont des obligations."

If anyone knows if there is an official or semi-offical translation that would be great.

I was most confused about the use of "Libertés," so this and Ann's discussion entry were the most helpful. The CNIL calls itself the Data Protection Authority in its English translation, but it's the law I was after here. So thanks.
