25.09.2020 - In its final vote, the Parliament adopted today the total revision of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). It was able to resolve the remaining differences standing in the way of more up-to-date protection of privacy.
Breakthrough for up-to-date data protection
The FDPIC welcomes the completion of the total revision of the Data Protection Act that the Federal Council submitted for parliamentary deliberation in a dispatch three years ago. This enhances the Swiss public’s right to privacy and to determine how their data are used, better reflecting today’s digital reality.
The FDPIC will offer a more detailed statement on the revised law once the ongoing referendum period has expired.
