The National Reference Center for RFID (CNRFID), supported by the Directorate-General for Enterprise (DGE), set up a working group to create a repository and good practice guidelines for the Data Protection of Applications of Professional Connected Objects. Nathan Frey, CEO of Air, is a founding member of the workgroup that will focus on the upcoming European Law for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to include the Chart of fundamental rights of the UE (2000/C 364/01)
