The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) originally dates back to June 19, 1992. It applies to data processing activities carried out by businesses, organizations, federal authorities, and natural persons that process data in the context of business activities.
The FADP has undergone a thorough overhaul to account for technical and legislative changes, especially to bring it in line with the requirements of the GDPR, which are crucial for enterprises that share personal data with organizations in the EU.
On September 25, 2020, the Swiss parliament officially approved the new FADP. The Swiss Federal Council will soon determine the new FADP's effective date. The revisions to the new FADP bring its provisions closer to those of the GDPR, expand procedural standards, and improve individual rights. The revised FADP is expected to come into effect in 2023.
Even though the Swiss Federal Constitution's Article 13 guarantees the right to privacy, a dedicated data protection law (Federal Act on Data Protection) introduces several rules that safeguard the personal information of data subjects.
Securiti enables organizations to comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) through AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, enhanced visibility into data processing activities, and AI-driven process automation.

Article 12
Automate compliance actions and breach notifications to concerned stakeholders regarding security incidents by leveraging a knowledge database on security incident diagnosis and response.
Article 5 + 11(3)
Ensure records of data processing activities across on-premise, and multi-cloud environments are maintained systematically and accurately. Periodically update data records to ensure correct data is available against its rightful owner.
Under the FADP, businesses must be transparent with data subjects and inform them of the data processing, including the processing of sensitive personal data and personality profiles. Personality profiles mean a collection of data that permits an assessment of essential characteristics of the personality of a natural person.
The FADP allows data subjects to view and request a copy of the personal information being processed about them.
Data subjects have the right to request that the data controller rectify their data.
The FADP gives data subjects the ability to request the erasure of their data.
Data subjects have the option to object to the processing of personal data, request for it to be stopped, and not to be disclosed to any third party.
Data Subjects can request the concerned federal body to block the disclosure of certain personal data by showing legitimate interest in doing so.
Privacy and data protection in Switzerland are primarily rooted in FADP and the Swiss Civil Code.
The FADP codifies the constitutional right to privacy as given under the Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation.
The regulatory body responsible for upholding the FADP is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
The FADP applies to both private and federal entities.
On complaint, private persons are liable to pay fines if they fail to fulfill their duty to provide information to data subjects as specified by provisions of FADP.
A person is also liable to fine if he/she willfully breaches confidential, sensitive personal data or personality profile that he/she has come to know about in his/her professional capacity.
Automated data processing for sensitive data/profiling for pilot projects may be approved by the Federal Council (in consultation with FDPIC) if a test run is conducted before the enactment of such tasks/projects and adequate safeguards are taken against privacy breaches.
The revised FADP will bring significant changes. For example, organizations will have enhanced information obligations and an obligation to conduct data protection impact assessment in case of high-risk data processing activities.
