In the EU, companies are required to appoint a data protection officer, while in Switzerland this remains optional.
Our legal experts support companies in implementing the revised law in departments and processes.
The revised Data Protection Act in Switzerland grants affected individuals the right to request information about the data collected and processed. However, it remains unclear what specific information is included. In comparison, the EU GDPR sets out more detailed criteria for the obligation to provide information.
While both pieces of legislation provide for the introduction of a data breach notification obligation, they differ with regard to the time limit. The revised data protection law in Switzerland does not specify a clear time limit, which gives companies some flexibility in reporting data breaches.
With regard to the transfer of data abroad, the requirements of the revised data protection law in Switzerland are stricter than the EU's GDPR. Companies must not only specify the recipient countries, but also disclose the data security guarantees used. This ensures that cross-border data transfers are adequately protected.

Informationen rund um das revidierte Datenschutzgesetz
The revised Data Protection Act (revDSG) entered into force on September 1, 2023. It is a comprehensive revision of the Swiss Data Protection Act to improve data protection to the level of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The revised Swiss Data Protection Act brings several changes for companies in their handling of data, including the strengthening of the rights of natural persons, the introduction of "Privacy by Design" and "Privacy by Default" concepts, the obligation to conduct a data protection impact assessment, extended information obligations and reporting obligations in the event of data breaches.
The revised Swiss Data Protection Act applies both to companies in Switzerland and to foreign companies that process data of Swiss persons. Companies based in the EU that process data of Swiss persons must also comply with the revDSG.
Although Switzerland's new data protection regulation is essentially based on the EU's GDPR, there are some differences. Some of these differences include the option to appoint a data protection officer, the obligation to provide information to data subjects, the obligation to report data breaches without a specific deadline, and stricter requirements for data transfers abroad.
Violations of the revDSG can be sanctioned with fines of up to CHF 250,000. While the penalties are lower compared to the GDPR, data controllers in Switzerland bear a higher personal risk. Companies can also be ordered to pay if the person responsible for the offense in the company is unclear.
