	\|contents=The first ~~constitution~~ of the ~~Swiss Confederation does not give citizens~~ the right to privacy. ~~However,~~ Article 13 of the current Swiss Constitution is titled Right to Privacy. “Every person has the right to privacy in their private and family life and in their home, and in relation to their mail and telecommunications. Every person has the right to be protected against the misuse of their personal data.” (Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation). Switzerland is not a member of the EU, so they do not follow the GDPR. However, ~~they did pass~~ the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) in 2020. This law is essentially the same as the GDPR and serves to protect the data of Swiss citizens from unlawful use, including privacy protections for certain kinds of data like “sensitive personal data” which includes data relating to a persons religious, philosophical, or political views, their health, their genetic and biometric data, and more. (Federal Act on Data Protection)		\|contents=The 1992 Federal Act on Data Protection was the first formal protection of privacy in Switzerland (DLA Piper, “Data protection laws of the world: Switzerland”). Since then, the right to privacy was added to the 1999 Swiss Constitution. Article 13 of the current Swiss Constitution is titled Right to Privacy. “Every person has the right to privacy in their private and family life and in their home, and in relation to their mail and telecommunications. Every person has the right to be protected against the misuse of their personal data.” (Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation). Switzerland is not a member of the EU, so they do not follow the GDPR. However, a revision of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) was passed in 2020. This law is essentially the same as the GDPR and serves to protect the data of Swiss citizens from unlawful use, including privacy protections for certain kinds of data like “sensitive personal data” which includes data relating to a persons religious, philosophical, or political views, their health, their genetic and biometric data, and more. (Federal Act on Data Protection)
