The representative in Switzerland
The representative in Switzerland is a role that the nLPD/nFADP requires in some cases for foreign companies that process data of people in Switzerland. Whether one is really needed depends on factors such as the type of processing, its scope and the company's relationship with the Swiss market. For a business in Como or Milan working with Ticino this is a legal assessment, which we cannot make. For your specific case, check with your legal advisor or DPO.
The technical side, between Cantù and Ticino
If your advisor indicates that a point of contact in Switzerland is needed, we make sure the correct details appear in the privacy notice and on the website pages. We work from Cantù, in the province of Como, with Lombard and Ticino companies: find out how we operate in Lugano.
NewVisibility, an agency in Cantù, develops the website and takes care of its privacy notices and cookies for companies between Ticino and Lombardy. We have an in-house team, our own managed servers and Cookie CMP developed in-house. We are a technical partner, not a law firm: we work together with your legal advisor or DPO.
Data transferred between Switzerland and the European Union is managed starting from a map of the servers, tools and providers that receive the site's data. For companies between Como and Lugano this technical work prepares the legal assessment, which is up to your legal advisor or DPO.
A privacy policy for the GDPR and the nLPD/nFADP can be set up as a single document, because the principles are similar, but some details may call for dedicated sections. For companies in Como, Brianza and Ticino, whether it is sufficient is decided by your legal advisor or DPO; we handle the technical side.
Renewing cookie consent depends on factors such as the chosen storage period, new tools added to the site and the purposes, not on a one-size-fits-all rule. For companies in Como and Milan it should be defined with your legal advisor or DPO; from Cantù we implement it on the site.
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.
