Comparison

Two regulations, one website

The differences between the nLPD/nFADP and the GDPR concern territorial scope, terminology and some practical details: they are two distinct texts, with many principles in common such as transparency, purposes and security. The GDPR is the European regulation, the nLPD/nFADP is the Swiss federal act. For a company in Como, Brianza or Lugano with users on both sides of the border, the website takes both into account. Informative content only: for your specific case, check with your legal advisor or DPO, we work together with them on the technical side of the website.

Portfolio

Multilingual and international websites

Does your website have users in Italy and Switzerland?

Let's talk: we start from how the website works and work with your advisor.

Services of interest

Whether an Italian company is covered by the nLPD/nFADP depends on how it operates with Switzerland, for example whether it processes data of people located in Switzerland. For companies in Como or Milan working with Ticino this is a legal assessment: check with your legal advisor or DPO.

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.

The GDPR is the European regulation that sets out how to process people's personal data, and it applies to websites too. For a company in Como or Brianza it means informing users, collecting only what is needed and protecting the data. For your specific case, check with your legal advisor or DPO.

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.
