This lecture delivers a concise overview of the scope of the
Swiss FADP, its interaction with the GDPR/UK GDPR, and core data
processing principles such as lawfulness, proportionality, purpose
limitation, storage limitation, and transparency. It covers
practical handling of data subject rights (including access,
rectification, erasure, and portability) and the internal workflows
needed to meet deadlines. Key focus areas include processor
management (DPAs, sub-processors, audit rights, supplier risk) and
data security with breach notification duties. The session also
deep-dives into cross-border transfers (adequacy, SCCs/BCRs,
Swiss–US DPF, exceptions) with actionable implementation
guidance.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
