What it makes you log
Logging duty
Articles 25 to 32 set the right to information, its limits (the controller must say why it refuses, restricts or delays), data portability, and the legal actions for correction, prohibition, deletion and a note that data is disputed. None requires a log, register or retention period for the requests or the answers.

What this law does
Articles 25 to 32 FADP give a person in Switzerland rights of access, rectification, deletion or destruction, objection to ongoing processing at any time, and a narrower portability right under Article 28 limited to data the subject provided and that is processed by automated means, in a standard electronic format, on request. Article 32 additionally lets a person go straight to a civil court to compel correction or have disputed data flagged, independent of the FDPIC complaint route.
