Document background
This Data Addendum is essential when existing agreements involve the processing of personal data under Swiss jurisdiction but lack comprehensive data protection provisions. It should be used to supplement primary agreements to ensure compliance with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FADP/DPA) and related regulations. The addendum becomes particularly important when dealing with cross-border data transfers, engaging new data processors, or updating existing arrangements to comply with the revised Swiss data protection law effective September 2023. It includes detailed provisions on data security, processing limitations, breach notifications, and data subject rights, tailored specifically to Swiss legal requirements. The document is crucial for businesses operating in Switzerland or processing Swiss residents' data, especially following the FADP revision that brought Swiss law closer to GDPR standards.
