Document background
The Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a mandatory requirement under Swiss data protection law for processing activities that may result in high risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. This document becomes necessary when implementing new technologies, processing sensitive data on a large scale, or conducting systematic monitoring of public areas. It must align with the requirements of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/LPD) and its ordinance, while also considering EU GDPR standards due to Switzerland's position as a third country seeking adequacy status. The DPIA helps organizations demonstrate accountability, identify privacy risks early in project development, and implement appropriate safeguards. It serves as both a compliance tool and a practical guide for privacy-by-design implementation.
