The Formiti Difference
Beyond Legal Advice
- (The Structure) Unlike Swiss law firms or single consultants that strictly offer legal interpretation, our Three-Team Model provides comprehensive, full-spectrum coverage. We do not rely on a single point of contact; instead, we deploy three specialized units: a Legal Team to handle regulatory nuance and Authority correspondence, a Privacy Team to manage technical triage and breach reporting, and an Operations Team to facilitate Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) through our secure platform.
- (The Operational Impact) This integrated structure fills the critical void left by traditional representation. While a law firm can interpret the regulation, they rarely possess the technical capability to assess a live data breach or the administrative capacity to process sudden spikes in consumer requests. By unifying legal counsel with cyber triage and administrative support, Formiti ensures that when an incident occurs, you have a complete, cohesive response mechanism in place—preventing small compliance gaps from escalating into costly regulatory fines.
Common Questions About Swiss FADP Representation
Q1:My company has an EU Representative. Does this cover Switzerland?
A: No. Switzerland is not part of the EU or EEA (European Economic Area). The Swiss FADP is a sovereign law. Relying on an EU Representative for Swiss data processing is a violation of Article 14 and leaves you open to enforcement by the Swiss FDPIC.
Q2: Who is personally liable for FADP violations?
A: Unlike the GDPR, which primarily fines the company, the Swiss FADP can impose criminal fines of up to CHF 250,000 on private individuals (such as Directors or Managers) if they willfully breach specific obligations. Appointing Formiti helps shield your leadership from these direct risks.
Q3: Do I need a Swiss Representative if I don't have an office there?
A: Yes. In fact, Article 14 specifically targets foreign companies without a Swiss domicile. If you process data of Swiss residents regularly and on a large scale (or high risk), the law mandates you to appoint a local representative to act as your legal point of contact.
Q4: What is the "Inventory of Processing Activities"?
A: This is the Swiss equivalent of the GDPR “RoPA” (Record of Processing Activities). Under FADP Article 12, you must maintain an up-to-date inventory of your data processing. Formiti maintains this document for you locally, ensuring it is ready for FDPIC inspection at any time.
Q5: Q: Why do you operate from Zug/Baar?
We chose Zug/Baar as our Swiss headquarters because it is the global standard for business privacy and efficiency (“Crypto Valley”). It provides a stable, prestigious legal domicile for our international clients, recognized by banks and regulators worldwide.
