Monitoring major digital projects has once again been the focus activity for the FDPIC. The E-ID Act as the basis for using a SwissID, the risk report on using the OASI number as a universal personal identifier or the conditions that must be met by e-ticketing or public transport apps underline this prioritisation. As a supervisory authority, the Commissioner had to intervene to prevent the processing of data on compulsory health insurance and had to deal with data leaks at several large companies. As the Freedom of Information Commissioner, the FDPIC succeeded in achieving a substantial increase in the efficiency of his arbitration procedures and welcomed the National Council’s unanimous commitment to guaranteeing transparency in connection with public procurement – thus ensuring that the principle of freedom of information does not become a farce.
