The new Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“nFADP”) was adopted by the Parliament on 25 September 2020. The deadline for calling a referendum has now expired, unused, on 14 January 2021. The next step is now for the Swiss Federal Council to adopt the relevant ordinances, which should bring welcome clarifications to notions and requirements set in the nFADP. The ordinances are expected to be published in the first semester of 2021; an entry into force of the nFADP (and the ordinances) before June 2022 or even January 2023 seems, however, unlikely.
