Common questions
- Which details must a company in Ticino give me under the Swiss Data Protection Act?
- Whether it processes data about you and, if so, at least: its identity and contact details, the data themselves, the purpose, the retention period or the criteria for it, where the data came from, any automated individual decision and its logic, and the recipients, with the country where data go abroad (Art. 25 para. 2 FADP). Health data may be given to you, with your consent, through a health professional you name (para. 3). Nobody can waive the right of access in advance (para. 5).
- How quickly must a Swiss controller answer an access request, and is it free?
- The answer is due within 30 days of receipt; if that is not possible, the controller must tell you within that time when it will come (Art. 18 DPO). It is free (Art. 25 para. 6 FADP). Only where the effort is disproportionate may a share of costs of at most CHF 300 be asked, announced beforehand; if you do not confirm within ten days, the request counts as withdrawn at no cost, and the 30 days run from the end of those ten (Art. 19 DPO). The request must be in writing; e-mail is enough (Art. 16 DPO).
- What are my options in Switzerland if the controller ignores my access request?
- Send a reminder with a short deadline. You can then enforce the right of access before the civil court in the simplified procedure (Art. 243 para. 2 let. d CPC), without court costs, at conciliation too (Art. 113 para. 2 let. g and 114 let. g CPC). You can also report the case to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC; IFPDT in Italian), who may open an investigation (Art. 49 FADP). Wilfully false or incomplete information is punishable, on complaint, by a fine of up to CHF 250'000 (Art. 60 para. 1 let. a FADP).
