Sensitive Information
In our increasingly digital world, data determines our lives, at all times and everywhere. Once saved, information remains on the Internet for a very long time and can therefore potentially also be used for purposes that do not correspond with the wishes of the user. We are aware that detailed information about a person’s financial situation is among the most sensitive that can be disclosed.
Art. 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution
Constitutional Basis
The protection of privacy is a human need. According to Art. 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution, every person therefore has the right to privacy in their private and family life and in their home, and in relation to their mail and telecommunications and – in the broader sense – the right to be protected against the misuse of their personal data.
Federal Act on Data Protection
“FADP”
The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection “FADP” ensures the protection of data, the privacy and the fundamental rights of natural and legal persons when their data is processed.
