Let's say we have facial recognition to enter a data center, is this
illegal as well? Will that be also illegal in Switzerland?
Switzerland is an anomaly: it is the state that gain more advantage from
the European Single Market but it is not in the European Single Market
because each state of the UE have single "contract" with it. I know that
EU is trying to invalidate/stop single "contract" and make Switzerland
join the European Single Market (I don't know if they have already reach
an agreement).
If Switzerland will join the European Single Market then it cannot
participate to the formation of new EU laws but it will need to adopt
all the new EU laws that European Single Market require. For example
privacy laws.
Note: ePrivacy Regulation is not already approved and so it can be
changed before approval.
But, for the actual privacy law, the Privacy Italian Board has forbid
and fined a public administration that have start to use worker
fingerprint as a method of let them enter/exit the society.
If you know Italian can read the following (I have take a random article):
