FADP: The Revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection
Learn about the revised Swiss FADP, its alignment with European standards, and what it means for your website consent practices.
The revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) brings Switzerland’s privacy legislation closer in line with modern European standards, specifically the GDPR. The revision aims to ensure the continued free flow of data between Switzerland and the European Union by maintaining an equivalent level of protection.
The revised FADP strengthens the rights of data subjects and increases transparency requirements. For businesses operating online, this underscores the necessity of a capable User Consent Management Platform (CMP) to clearly inform users about data collection and manage their preferences effectively.
Because of its alignment with the European model, compliance strategies for the FADP heavily overlap with GDPR strategies. Technologies like Microsoft UET and Google Consent Mode V2 are vital for operating compliantly within the Swiss market, ensuring marketing tags only fire when legally permissible.
