Switzerland ยท revised FADP

Switzerland’s revised FADP, aligned yet distinct.

The revised Federal Act on Data Protection modernises Swiss privacy law and moves it closer to the GDPR, while retaining Swiss-specific features and oversight by the FDPIC.

What to note

Key points

GDPR-adjacent

Similar principles, rights and accountability, easing programmes already built for the GDPR.

Records & DPIAs

Records of processing and impact assessments for high-risk processing.

Transfers

Adequacy-style approach with safeguards for exports to non-adequate countries.

Breach reporting

Notify the FDPIC of breaches likely to result in high risk to data subjects.

Organisations already GDPR-compliant usually need targeted adjustments, not a rebuild. A full guide for this jurisdiction is in preparation. For a detailed applicability read today, talk to a consultant.
