23.04.2020 - FDPIC examines system architecture and demands proof of sufficient legal basis.
Update "Proximity Tracing App"
The FDPIC and his Corona Task Force were involved in the implementation work of the Federal Administration for a "Covid proximity tracing app". The implementation is based on the "DP-3T" model developed by the EPFL, which follows a decentralised approach, and is independent of the developments within the European "PEPP-PT" project. The FDPIC’s Task Force is currently examining data protection aspects of the system architecture developed by the authorities. In principle, the FDPIC also demands, in particular, the proof of a sufficient legal basis in accordance with Art. 17 of the Federal Act on Data Protection.
For previous updates concerning proximity tracing see German, French or Italian version.
