FADP compliance for your site, app, and organization
Complying with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) can seem complex and daunting. We simplify the process by offering solutions designed to help you meet FADP requirements. From creating a privacy policy to keeping records of your processing activities, our tools help you maintain compliance with ease.
The FADP applies to Swiss-based companies and foreign companies that process data of users based in Switzerland. This includes a wide range of organizations such as businesses, charities, and public bodies.
What's Required for FADP Compliance
Create a Privacy Policy
Requirement
The latest requirements of the FADP necessitate an updated Privacy Policy that provides all essential details for your users to assert their rights and understand the data processing activities clearly. With our enhanced Privacy and Cookie Policy Generator, you can effortlessly align your online activities with FADP requirements.
Both websites and apps need a privacy policy that is compliant with FADP. It should be clear, easy to understand, and easily accessible.

Maintain FADP Records of Your Processing Activities
Requirement
You're required to keep records on how you collect, process, and store data as follows:
Note down who is responsible for managing the data.
Clearly state why you're gathering this information.
Describe the types of data you're collecting and whom it's about.
List the people or organizations who will have access to this data.
If you can, mention how long you'll be keeping the data or how you'll decide when to delete it.
Provide a simple explanation of what you're doing to keep this data secure.
If the data is going to be shared outside the country, you need to specify which country it's going to and what safeguards are in place.
And don't forget, maintaining this list isn't a one-time thing; it's part of ongoing compliance with FADP requirements.
Solution
Register of Data Processing Activities
Document all your data processing activities within your organization in compliance with the FADP. Our Register of Data Processing Activities feature also allows you to specify the legal basis for data transfer abroad according to the FADP requirements.
No, FADP adopts an opt-out approach, so a cookie banner isn't specifically required. However, our tool offers a dedicated option for displaying a cookie banner if you wish to do so.
What if I also have to comply with GDPR or LGPD?
Our tool offers geolocation features to apply different consent mechanisms based on user locations. Alternatively, you can apply a global prior-consent approach.
Can I customize the cookie banner myself?
Yes, enable the Switzerland option in Manual Configuration within the Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution Generator to customize it to your needs.
Don't procrastinate on meeting your obligations under the new FADP
