nFADP compliance for a SaaS
Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revised, SR 235.1). This page applies it to one kind of product (SaaS), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
Processing that affects people in Switzerland, including from abroad.
What a SaaS typically processes
- account creation and authentication
- subscription billing through a payment processor
- product analytics and session tracking
- transactional and marketing email
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what nFADP requires and what a SaaS actually does:
- Privacy policy
- Data processing agreement (DPA)
Rights you must honour
nFADP gives people in Switzerland the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Receive their data in a portable format
- Object to certain processing
- Ask for human review of an automated decision
