If it is not properly protected by the forum, the search engine may completely index this health data, and anyone can find these health data. information. “

These data leaks also concern hospitals, such as the Millau Hospital Center in Aveyron, or even National Education servers. Patients, even when they have posted the data themselves, can contact the National Commission for Informatics and Freedoms (Cnil).
