Jurisdictional Sovereignty
Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP)
Switzerland's 2023 data protection law strengthening individual rights and imposing criminal liability — the legal complement to CLAVI's zero-knowledge architecture.
Definition
Switzerland's revised Federal Act on Data Protection, effective September 2023, replacing the 1992 original. The revFADP strengthens individual rights over personal data, introduces mandatory data breach notification, requires data protection impact assessments, and imposes personal criminal liability on responsible officers. Unlike GDPR, the revFADP applies based on data processing effects in Switzerland, not establishment. For CLAVI, the revFADP provides the legal framework complementing its technical zero-knowledge guarantees.
