Swiss Privacy Regulator Rules U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield Not Adequate
On the heels of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s decision in Schrems II, Switzerland’s Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) has determined that the U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield does not meet the “requirements of adequate data protection as defined by the FADP (Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection).”
It issued a policy paper offering advice on transferring data to countries not on its list of nations with adequate safeguards.
