In search of privacy
Charles H. Pictet, Member of the Council for the protection of individual rights, Geneva
Matthias Kummer, Attorney, Kummer Public Affairs, Berne
Safeguarding customer privacy is a key aspect of Swiss banking culture. The global erosion of individual privacy is a sign of our times and has ramifications far beyond the banking sector.
Healthcare service providers, lawyers, pastors, scientists and engineers, the media and the state need to address this issue from their various viewpoints and with varying degrees of urgency. It primarily affects the individual, but more importantly the repercussions can be felt throughout our liberal society.
The Council for the Protection of Individual Privacy was set up two years ago in Switzerland. The Council covers a wide range of relevant issues and disciplines and regards itself as an advocate of privacy.
