Legal compliance

Threema Work is fully compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a Swiss company, Threema is also subject to Switzerland’s strict Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the accompanying Data Protection Ordinance (DPO).

Transmitting data from the EU to Switzerland is permitted by law without any additional evaluation. Based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission 2000/518/EG, Swiss law guarantees a level of data protection equivalent to European legislation. The adequacy was last confirmed in the EU Commission’s report dated January 15, 2024.

Threema Work can be used without providing personally identifiable information (such as a phone number or email address) and without granting access to the address book.

In November 2021, the FZI Research Center for Information Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany, released a comprehensive legal study on the corporate use of messaging services as well as a compact practical guide (both in German), see blog post.
