Luxembourg specificity
loi luxembourgeoise du 1er aout 2018 portant organisation de la Commission nationale pour la protection des donnees et du regime general sur la protection des donnees

In Luxembourg, the law of 1 August 2018 organising the National Commission for Data Protection and the general data protection regime specifies the national margins opened by the GDPR (health data, research data, employee data via Article L.261-1 of the Labour Code). Outside these explicit margins, no Luxembourg practice can derogate from the GDPR, and the CNPD strictly applies EDPB doctrine.

Luxgap practice: we systematically distinguish in your analyses what falls under EU GDPR (non-negotiable) and what falls under the Luxembourg law of 1 August 2018 (adaptation margin), to avoid argumentative confusion during a CNPD audit.
