Swiss FADP Article 30: Breaches of personality rights
1 Any person who processes personal data must not unlawfully breach the data subjects' personality rights.
2 A breach of personality rights arises in particular if: (a) personal data are processed contrary to the principles of Articles 6 and 8; (b) personal data are processed contrary to the express wishes of the data subject; (c) sensitive personal data are disclosed to third parties.
3 In general no breach of personality rights arises if the data subject makes the personal data generally accessible and has not explicitly prohibited any processing.
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.
