Update «Proximity Tracing App»
23.04.2020 - FDPIC examines system architecture and demands proof of sufficient legal basis.
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.
