GendNote is an application designed to replace the traditional handwritten note book used by gendarmes in the field to collect information.
Two associations have asked an administrative justice court to cancel the creation of GendNote, a controversial note-taking app for police officers, which they condemn as a threat to citizens’ privacy.
GendNote works on smartphones and tablets, gendarmes professionals, and is intended to replace the traditional book of handwritten notes used in the field to collect information.
But unlike a notebook, GendNote is “nested with many other existing software,” said two associations, Internet Society France, which defends the rights of Internet users, and HES (Marseille and socialismes), which defends same-sex couples.

The application will therefore be able to help “extract any data relating to individuals, including religion, sexual orientation, political opinions, race or ethnicity”, which could be placed in the gendarmes’ notes, they added. On Tuesday, two associations submitted an appeal to the Council of State against the February 20 decree on the creation of the dossier.

In addition to the presence of sensitive data in the application, the two organizations also condemn the fact that the information contained in GendNote can in some cases be transferred to prefectural authorities or mayors.
During the controversy that followed the publication of the decree establishing GendNote, the police claimed that the decree was delivered to Cnil, the guardian of French people’s freedoms in relation to files and computers for processing.
She also indicated that the registration of sensitive data in the free fields of GendNote is enabled “in case of absolute necessity” and “within the limits of the mission for which it is collected.”
