Quick Answers

  • Swiss FADP is your baseline if you are Switzerland-based.

  • GDPR can apply if you actively serve or target individuals in the EU, even from Switzerland.

  • Fast first fix: Privacy Policy (Datenschutz or Datenschutzerklärung), cookies and tracking disclosure, and vendor DPAs for your core tools.

  • Most compliance work lives in your tool stack, analytics, email marketing, scheduling, payments, and storage.

  • Trust is the function of structure. When your setup is consistent, your clients understand you faster, and AI summaries misinterpret you less.

Hi there Founder,

I am the founder of Legally She Can, a licensed lawyer turned legal and business trust engineer, the TrustWright, based in Zurich. I help founders and experts serving clients in Switzerland and the EU build legally aligned, trust-based infrastructure, so you’re protected, positioned for growth, and irreplaceable in a digital AI world.

​

Guided by the principle “Legal clarity builds trust. Trust builds growth,” my work focuses on making the legal side of business usable, not overwhelming. I translate complex rules into practical steps that help serious founders operate across borders with confidence, using clear contracts, clean website policies, privacy and vendor alignment, and brand protection that supports long-term credibility.
