On January 11, 2017, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and
Information Commissioner and the U.S. Department of Commerce
finalized a new Swiss–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework
("Swiss Privacy Shield") that will allow companies to
transfer Swiss personal data to the United States in compliance
with Swiss data protection requirements. The Swiss Privacy Shield
will replace the U.S.–Swiss Safe Harbor Framework, which was
declared inadequate, and will adopt requirements almost identical
to those incorporated in the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield. For more
information on the proposal, please see
Jones Day's Commentary.
