Swiss FADP Article 23: Consultation of the FDPIC

1 If the data protection impact assessment indicates that the planned processing despite the measures planned by the controller will still pose a high risk to the personality or the data subject's fundamental rights, the controller shall seek the FDPIC's opinion beforehand.

2 The FDPIC shall inform the controller within two months of any objections to the planned processing. This deadline may be extended by one month if the data processing is complex.

3 If the FDPIC objects to the planned processing, he or she shall propose suitable measures to the controller.

4 A private controller may dispense with consulting the FDPIC if it has consulted the data protection officer under Article 10.

Switzerland enacts in German, French and Italian. This is Fedlex's English translation, which Fedlex itself publishes without legal force. Where a word matters, the German, French or Italian text governs and this page does not. Every other instrument in this library is reproduced from its own authentic language text; this one is the exception and says so on every page.
