Swiss FADP Article 4: Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner
1 The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) supervises the application of the federal data protection regulations.
2 The following are exempted from supervision by the FDPIC: (a) the Federal Assembly; (b) the Federal Council; (c) the federal courts; (d) the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland in relation to processing personal data as part of criminal proceedings; (e) federal authorities in relation to processing personal data in terms of a judicial activity or proceedings for international mutual assistance in criminal matters.
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.
