Revision of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection: The countdown for Swiss companies runs.

The revised Swiss Data Protection Act will come into force on 1 September 2023. There is no "grace period" in the sense of a transition period. For this reason, implementation measures should be prepared and taken early. Furthermore, the Federal Data Protection Commissioner had pointed out in advance that all existing data transfer agreements for existing foreign data transfers should have already been replaced by the updated EU data transfer standard clauses by the end of 2022.

The TMC and data protection team of CMS Switzerland has created a brochure to accompany your company in the implementation of the revised DPA in a risk- and resource-oriented manner based on an analysis of the current situation. Our team is available to discuss these matters with you and show you how you can implement the new obligations of the revised DPA in a targeted and resource-saving manner.
