Document background
A Privacy Information Notice is required under Swiss data protection law whenever an organization processes personal data. This document becomes particularly important following the 2023 revision of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act, which enhanced transparency requirements and aligned Swiss law more closely with international standards. The notice must be provided to data subjects before any data processing begins and should be updated whenever significant changes occur in data processing activities. It serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance, building trust with stakeholders, and demonstrating accountability in data protection practices. The document should be tailored to the specific context of the organization while meeting all regulatory requirements under Swiss law, including potential cross-border considerations where applicable.
