Chapter 4
Swiss FADP Article 28: Right to data portability
1 Any person may request the controller to deliver the personal data that they have disclosed to it in a conventional electronic format if: (a) the controller is carrying out the automated processing of the data; and (b) the data are being processed with the consent of the data subject or in direct connection with the conclusion or the performance of a contract between the controller and the data subject.
2 The data subject may also request the controller to transfer their personal data to another controller if the requirements in paragraph 1 are met and no disproportionate effort is required.
3 The controller must deliver or transfer the personal data free of charge. The Federal Council may provide for exceptions, in particular if the effort is disproportionate.
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.
