Switzerland Has No General Impressum Duty, Which Surprises People
Anyone copying an Austrian or German template into a Swiss site is importing obligations that do not exist here and possibly missing the one that does. There is no blanket Impressum requirement in Swiss law. Printed newspapers have one under the Criminal Code, and companies in the commercial register have a duty to use their registered name under Art. 954a CO — but neither creates a general website disclosure rule. The actual obligation sits in competition law: Art. 3(1)(s)(1) of the Unfair Competition Act, in force since April 2012, makes it unfair conduct to offer goods, works or services in electronic commerce without giving clear and complete information about your identity and contact address, including an email address.
The Threshold for "Electronic Commerce" Is Read Broadly
You do not need a shopping cart to be caught. The provision is interpreted widely enough to cover a company blog written to win customers indirectly, or a site carrying advertising. What has to appear: for an individual, first and last name; for a legal entity, the company name exactly as it stands in the commercial register. The contact address means street, postcode and town, plus an email address for electronic contact. A telephone number, contrary to what a lot of templates assume, is not legally required. Art. 3(2) carves out voice telephony and contracts concluded purely by email or comparable individual communication, and Art. 23 UWG makes an intentional breach a criminal matter rather than an administrative one.
The Revised FADP Applies Whether or Not You Need a Legal Notice
The revised Federal Act on Data Protection came into force on 1 September 2023, and its information duty attaches to anyone acting as a data controller — which a website operator almost always is. So even a site with no legal-notice obligation generally still needs a privacy notice. The FADP is extraterritorial: a business outside Switzerland processing the data of people here is covered, and foreign controllers may need to appoint a Swiss representative. Transfers to countries without an adequacy decision are restricted. Practically, this is a design-stage decision about where forms send data and where the site is hosted, rather than a policy you paste in at the end.
Cookies: the FDPIC Has Been Sharpening Its Guidance
Switzerland’s data protection commissioner published cookie guidance during 2025 and revised it later the same year, tightening the position on when consent is genuinely required and how "consent or pay" arrangements can be run lawfully. The direction is toward explicit opt-in where third-party tracking enables cross-site profiling, and away from treating continued browsing as agreement. It stops short of the EU model, which is exactly why a Swiss site copying a GDPR banner wholesale often ends up over-engineered in one place and short in another.

Questions, Answered Directly
If you offer goods, works or services in electronic commerce, yes — under Art. 3(1)(s)(1) UWG. If your site is purely informational with no commercial offering at all, the provision may not reach you, though the data protection information duty usually still does.
No. The law asks for identity and a contact address including an email address. Publishing a phone number is a business choice rather than a legal requirement.
Not directly — Switzerland is outside the EU, so the EAA does not apply as domestic law. It can still reach a Swiss business selling covered services to consumers in the EU, since the directive follows the customer rather than the company’s address.
If you process the personal data of people in Switzerland, generally yes. The revised Act has explicit extraterritorial reach, and foreign controllers may be required to appoint a Swiss representative. Treat this page as background rather than legal advice.
