Uncertain information: Datasets Used

• Datasets Used: Quattro P (Information Certainty: Rumoured)

The control agency for the intelligence services in Switzerland assessed that biometric data is analysed with an unnamed software. The analysis of biometric data by the intelligence services in Switzerland has no legal basis.

Mit dem Gesichtserkennungssystem werden nach Ansicht der AB-ND biometrische Daten bearbeitet. Solche Daten werden gemäss dem revidierten (noch nicht in Kraft gesetzten) Bundesgesetz über den Datenschutz (DSG)38 als besonders schützenswerte Personendaten eingeordnet. Gemäss Art. 47 Abs. 2 NDG legt der Bundesrat für jedes Informationssystem den Katalog der bearbeiteten Personendaten fest. Er hat dies in der VIS-NDB getan, aber in keinem der dort erwähnten Informationssystemen ist die Bearbeitung biometrischer Daten vorgesehen.

Weiter können mit dem Gesichtserkennungssystem Bilderprofile erstellt werden, die zudem mit Metadaten angereichert werden können. Dies führt nach Ansicht der AB-ND zur Erstellung von Persönlichkeitsprofilen. 1

It is rumoured that facial recognition is used in conjunction with the border security dataset Quattro P.

Die Gesichtserkennung scheint im Rahmen des Informationssystems Quattro-P, welches der Erfassung von Reisebewegungen dient, stattzufinden. 2
