And then who will trust the US company abroad, if they can't guarantee a certain level of privacy?
It's so hard to gain trust and so easy to lose it.
As a Swiss I admit that I'm quite frustrated by the "it's only for the foreigner" attitude.
Should I consider to only using local services if I care about my privacy?
- tptacek 13y agoYes, I guess.
- marshray 13y agoAs an American I admit being disappointed that Switzerland doesn't tend to fight as hard for my privacy as it does its own citizens'. But props to .ch anyway :-)
- syjer 13y agoAs far as I know, there is no distinction between foreigner or resident person in the data protection law in Switzerland.
- marshray 13y agoWell, for example, Americans basically personae non grata to Swiss banks.
- syjer 13y agoThis is a business decision from certain Swiss banks due to the impracticality of the situation. And maybe this is what will happen to certain US business too, they will lose customers because they can't give privacy guarantee to foreign customers.
