Why You Need a Swiss Representative
Who Needs a Representative Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP)?
Although the function is similar, the requirements for appointing a data protection representative in Switzerland are slightly different from those in the EU and the UK. Private data controllers with their seat outside Switzerland are required to appoint a representative in Switzerland, if:
- they process the personal data of data subjects located in Switzerland
- that data processing is connected with offering those data subjects goods or services, or monitoring their behaviour
- the data processing is extensive
- it occurs on a regular basis, and
- it involves a high risk for such data subjects.
Failure to comply can lead to enforcement actions and significant penalties. Appointing a qualified Swiss Representative ensures you meet your obligations and maintain regulatory confidence.
