Articles 25 to 32 FADP give a person in Switzerland rights of access, rectification, deletion or destruction, objection to ongoing processing at any time, and a narrower portability right under Article 28 limited to data the subject provided and that is processed by automated means, in a standard electronic format, on request. Article 32 additionally lets a person go straight to a civil court to compel correction or have disputed data flagged, independent of the FDPIC complaint route.
