Document background
The Data Privacy Notice is a mandatory document under Swiss data protection law that organizations must provide to ensure transparency in their data processing activities. It becomes necessary when an organization collects and processes personal data of individuals in Switzerland, whether they are customers, employees, or other stakeholders. The document must comply with the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP) and should be updated regularly to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements. This notice serves as a key communication tool, demonstrating compliance with Swiss privacy laws while building trust with data subjects by clearly explaining their rights and the organization's data handling practices.
