4000 Meineimpfungen.ch users got their money back
Around 4000 users of the meineimpfungen.ch portal have had their money refunded for deleting their data. According to the portal, users were entitled to a refund if they had already paid for the digitization of their vaccination card.
In March, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) issued a formal procedure against the operators of the platform www.meineimpfungen.ch. The platform was criticized by data protectionists in the spring. Hundreds of thousands of data records, including those of Federal Councilors, were accessible to hackers.
The web portal was then set. In addition, cases of incorrectly assigned vaccinations also came to light. According to the Foundation for Consumer Protection the verification of the requests for deletion of other documents was also time-consuming.
As the platform states on its website writesIn the meantime, 4,000 users have already received a refund. A claim for reimbursement would exist if the costs for the digitization of the vaccination card had already been paid, but the service could not be provided due to the closure of the platform.
