Swiss FADP Article 38: Offering documents to the Federal Archives
1 In accordance with the Archiving Act of 26 June 1998, federal bodies shall offer to the Federal Archives all personal data that they no longer regularly require.
2 They shall destroy personal data that the Federal Archives do not deem to be worth archiving unless: (a) the data are anonymised; (b) they must be preserved for evidentiary or security purposes or to safeguard the data subject's legitimate interests.
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.
