switzerland privacy law

"Switzerland privacy law" refers to the set of legal rules and principles that govern the collection, processing, and protection of personal data within Switzerland. The primary regulation is the **Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP)**, which aims to protect individuals’ privacy and fundamental rights when their data is processed by both private entities and federal bodies. The law establishes requirements for lawful data processing, data subject rights (such as access, correction, and deletion), data security obligations, and conditions for international data transfers. The FADP was recently revised to align more closely with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), strengthening transparency and accountability standards.
