Data protection is supervised by the [Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC)](https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/), under Revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), in force since 1 September 2023. Shops include VAT in consumer prices: the standard rate is 8.1%, and reduced rates apply to some goods (2.6% / 3.8% (special rate for accommodation)). Switzerland is in neither the EU nor the EEA; it has bilateral agreements with the EU and its own FDPIC. Cantons have their own data protection officers. French dominates search in Romandie and Italian in Ticino. This is not legal advice.
