Swiss law looks above all at those who process data of people located in Switzerland. A company in Como or Milan that addresses customers in Ticino, or whose website collects data from Swiss users, is a case to assess carefully. We cannot tell you whether this applies to you: it is a legal assessment. For your specific case, check with your legal advisor or DPO; we work together with them on the technical side of the website.
What the assessment usually looks at
Elements your advisor may examine.




- Users and customers in Switzerland
- Forms and newsletters aimed at Ticino
- Analytics and advertising tools on the website
- Languages and markets of the website
The technical side, from the Como area to Ticino
From our base in Cantù we look after the websites of Lombard companies with users in Switzerland too: notices, cookies and forms are configured following your advisor's guidance. For our activities in Ticino see our page Ticino.

Do you have Swiss users on your website?
Tell us how your website works, and we will talk it through with your advisor.
An nLPD/nFADP privacy notice clearly describes who processes the data, what data, for which purposes, with whom it is shared, whether it leaves the country and how to exercise rights. For company websites between Como and Lugano we start from how the site really works; the final text is up to your advisor.
Cookies for Swiss users are managed starting from an inventory of the site's cookies and tools and a clear banner, with consent by category. With Cookie CMP, developed by NewVisibility in Cantù, we set up accept, reject, customise and prior script blocking for websites between Lugano and Milan.
A representative in Switzerland is required by the nLPD/nFADP only in certain cases for foreign companies, and depends on factors such as the type and scope of the processing. For businesses in Como or Milan active in Ticino it is a legal assessment: check with your legal advisor or DPO; we handle the technical side.
A transfer of data outside the European Union occurs when personal data collected by the website is sent or made accessible to providers based, or with servers, outside the EU. We help you identify these steps, including between Lugano and Milan; the assessment is up to your legal advisor or DPO.
In the web project, the legal advisor and DPO assess the legal aspects of data processing, while the agency implements notices, consents and configurations on the site. NewVisibility works this way from Cantù with companies in Como, Milan and Lugano, as a technical partner and not a law firm.
