  2. Access to FSO microdata • Currently we have about 30 requests every year from researchers from Europe and North America. • Anonymized personal data can be supplied for research purposes as long as a data protection and confidentiality agreement/contract has been signed (Institut – FSO Director General). • Personal data can only be passed on for statistical, research and planning purpose (Art. 19 Federal Statistic Act). • Personal data are supplied for a limited period of time and only for a specific project. This time period cannot exceed three years. • 1 Project -> 1 agreement -> several datasets. • After completion of the project, all supplied data must be destroyed. A written confirmation that the data has been destroyed must be sent to the FSO. • If this trust is breached, then suitable measures will be taken (e.g. contract penalty, legal action, refusal to transfer any more data for subsequent projects, etc.)

  3. Access to FSO microdata - Data protection • The researcher (Institut) must provide the same level of data protection and confidentiality as that is used by the FSO (Art. 6 Federal Act on Data Protection). For personal data requiring level 3 protection (very sensitive personal data – personal life, staetofhealth etc.), the researcher must provide written proof that such a level of protection is in place. This written proof is attached as a schedule to the data protection and confidentiality agreement. • In order to ascertain compliance with the FSO level of data protection, the FSO may rely on the list of states that are considered to have appropriate data protection legislation published by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (www.edoeb.admin.ch). The list is kept constantly up to date and is not definitive. The fact that a country is not included on the list does not mean that it does not provide an adequate level of protection. • Head of legal service (FSO) takes final decision.
