Data Protection

data-protection legal skills for Switzerland

Switzerland's revised Federal Act on Data Protection, which came into force in September 2023, brought the country's framework materially closer to the GDPR while preserving Swiss-specific obligations — including distinct rules on data processing agreements, privacy notices, and the role of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner — that make Swiss mandates a discipline in their own right. Law firms and in-house teams advising on Swiss data protection face the dual task of satisfying the Swiss nDSG and managing parallel EU obligations when client data flows cross the border into the EEA.

The data protection legal skills for Switzerland in the ThomasMore catalog are agent-ready capabilities designed for exactly that layered work — mapping cross-border transfer mechanisms, drafting privacy notices under nDSG requirements, or building records of processing activities. Each skill runs over MCP or downloads directly into your existing workflow, meaning analysis and drafting tasks can be delegated to an AI agent without rebuilding your process from scratch. The ThomasMore catalog lets you filter by license or author to match the specific matter at hand, whether that is a corporate transaction with data-room implications, a product launch requiring Swiss-law DPIA equivalents, or an enforcement response before the FDPIC. Use the filters above to narrow to the capability your next Swiss data protection instruction actually needs.
