Stay aligned with Switzerland’s FADP
Switzerland’s Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) is stricter on sensitive data, tougher on cross-border transfers, and fines can hit individuals up to CHF 250,000. We give you the tools to prove your policies, consents, and records, so you’re prepared when asked.
The Swiss twist on GDPR
FADP takes the GDPR framework and tightens it: more explicit consent, processing logs you can’t skip, and extra rules for data leaving Switzerland. We help you handle the additional steps with clear, ready-to-use solutions.
Trusted in Switzerland and worldwide
From Zurich startups to global enterprises, over 150,000 businesses trust iubenda to make compliance manageable across borders.
Does Switzerland’s FADP apply to you?
If you collect or process personal data from Swiss users, yes, and if you answer “yes” to any of these, the FADP is on your desk:
1
You’re based in Switzerland (all orgs, all sizes).
2
You target Swiss users (paid or free services).
3
You collect personal data (names, email addresses, IP addresses, health data).
4
You transfer data abroad (partners, vendors, third parties).
Why overlooking FADP isn’t an option
The risks go beyond fines. Here’s what you’re risking by ignoring FADP’s strict regulations.
Fines hit individuals
Up to CHF 250k per violation, not just the company.
Operations stall
The regulator can block databases or force audits.
Trust takes a hit
Customers and partners won’t wait around if you mishandle data.
Liability lingers
Disputes and lawsuits outlast the penalties.
What Switzerland expects from your business
If you’re operating in Switzerland, here’s what Switzerland’s FADP demands:
Privacy Policy & Disclosures
Be clear on what data you collect, why, who’s responsible, and how long it’s stored.
Consent that holds up
Opt-outs for cookies, explicit opt-ins for sensitive data. Logged and provable.
Processing Records
Up-to-date logs of data activities, who has access, and what security measures you’ve applied.
User Rights Management
Let users access, correct, delete, or restrict their data, and prove you did it.
Compliance tools that hold up in Switzerland
iubenda gives you the stack you need to meet the FADP and prove you’ve done the work. We don’t promise “total compliance” because no tool can. What you get is a practical stack that covers the FADP’s essentials and proves you’ve done things right.

Your FADP questions, answered
Do I need a cookie banner for FADP?
FADP takes an opt-out approach, so banners aren’t always mandatory. However, many businesses still use one to maintain transparency and foster user trust.
What if I also follow GDPR or LGPD?
No problem. We detect location and apply the proper rules. One setup, multiple jurisdictions.
What’s the risk if I don’t comply?
Aside from fines, the regulator can suspend your database or force audits. The bigger risk? Losing customer trust.
