Switzerland New Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP/nDSG, 2023)

Switzerland
v2023 (revised)
25 domains
56 controls

Switzerland's revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP/nDSG, Datenschutzgesetz, in force September 1, 2023) modernises Swiss data protection law to align with the EU GDPR and maintain the EU adequacy decision. The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC/EDÖB) oversees enforcement. Key changes from the former law: privacy by design and default, DPIA requirements, breach notification, enhanced data subject rights (including portability), profiling provisions, and increased penalties. Switzerland is not an EU member but maintains EU adequacy status.
