The new Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) entered into force on September 1, 2023. On February 3, 2025, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) released additional guidelines on data processing using cookies and similar technologies.

Does it apply to you?

The FADP applies to the processing of personal data with effects in Switzerland. This means that you need to comply if:

• your business operates in Switzerland; or
• your business, regardless of its location, targets and processes the personal data of Swiss users.

What are the risks of non-compliance?

Non-compliance is punishable by fines of up to CHF 250,000.
