Promotion of international data governance

Switzerland participates in international discussions on data policy in various forums (in particular the CSTD Working Group on Data Governance and the OECD Working Party on Data Governance and Privacy). In particular, it advocates for the establishment of digital self-determination as a globally recognised data usage concept. The aim is to promote the use of data to foster innovative, fair and sustainable societies without undermining individual data protection.
