Right to information
In accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), any person may request information from the controller of a data file as to whether their personal data is being processed and may, if necessary, have the data corrected or destroyed. This right to information allows everyone to maintain control over the data collected about them. It is key to enabling those affected to assert their rights under the law and ensures transparency regarding what use is made of the data. Nevertheless, each person must take action themselves to exercise this right.
