Microsoft
Told to Stop 
Collecting
User Data
France's data protection
authority ordered Microsoft
to stop collecting what it
considers "excessive" user
data via the Windows 10
operating system in July. The
Commission Nationale de
l'Informatique et des Libertés
(CNIL) gave Microsoft three
months to cease collecting
such data without consent
before it would begin levying
sanctions. Microsoft Deputy
Counsel David Heiner said
Microsoft would work closely
with CNIL to resolve the
situation. Windows 10 has
more than ten million users
in France.

Mobile payment and
digital wallet service
Apple Pay recently
launched in France,
becoming available
as a payment option
wherever Visa
contactless payment is
accepted. Cardholders
from Banque Populaire
et Caisse d'Epargne
(BPCE group) gained
immediate access,
and according to Visa,
more than 400,000
merchants are
currently equipped
with contactless
payment. In addition,
all merchants will be
mandated to accept
Visa contactless
payment by 2020.

France's lower parliament in July passed a bill
that would tighten licensing rules for
ridesharing services such as Lyft and Uber. Uber
and other ridesharing companies argue that the
bill would stifle their businesses, eliminating
an entire category of driving licenses used by
an estimated third of Uber's drivers in France.
A number of ridesharing companies, including
Uber, have launched a campaign called
#laissezlestravailler - or "let them work" - to fight
the proposed regulations.

CES Unveiled Paris will be held at the Palais Brongniart on October 25.

Lehmann Aviation Launches Modular Drone
In what the company is calling a world first, Lehmann Aviation has launched a line
of modular drones marketed to professionals. The Lehmann L-A series are designed
to be used in such roles as mapping, mining, construction and agriculture. The
LA500-AG model, for example, is targeted at agriculture and features Parrot's
Sequoia sensor that calibrates wavelength, green, red, red-edge and near infrared
in order to highlight the health of plants.
