Aiara.ch's answer

Aiara is the only privacy compliance tool built specifically for Swiss law (nFADP/nDSG) — not a GDPR tool adapted for Switzerland as an afterthought. It combines three compliance layers in one: Cookie Consent, Privacy Policy Generator, and Imprint Generator.

The standout feature is the Risk Radar based on EDOB Annex A — it automatically calculates your website's legal risk profile across 6 axes and tells you exactly which cookie consent level (1, 2, or 3) applies to your site. No guesswork, no expensive legal consultations.

On top of that: ultra-lightweight (<15KB Vanilla JS), auto-updating legal texts, Google Consent Mode V2, A/B testing for banners, and an agency dashboard for managing all client domains centrally.

Aiara.ch's answer

Most competitors (Cookiebot, Usercentrics, iubenda) were built for GDPR and treat Swiss law as an add-on. Aiara was built from day one for Swiss compliance — nFADP + GDPR, including the EDOB risk assessment framework that no competitor implements.

Key advantages vs. competitors: • Swiss-first: nFADP/nDSG compliance built-in, not bolted on • All-in-one: cookie banner + privacy policy + imprint in one tool (competitors only cover cookies) • Risk Radar: unique automated legal risk assessment (EDOB Annex A) • Lighter: <15KB vs. competitors that load 100KB+ of JavaScript • Fairer pricing: CHF 20/month flat — no pageview limits, no upsells • Agency-ready: central dashboard for all client domains, partner pricing from day one

Aiara.ch's answer

Aiara serves two main audiences:

1. Swiss SMBs (5–200 employees) — businesses with a website who need to comply with Swiss data protection law but don't have in-house legal or technical expertise. They want a simple, reliable solution that "just works" and stays up to date.

2. Web agencies & freelancers — professionals who build and maintain websites for clients. They use Aiara's agency dashboard to manage all client domains centrally, reduce their own legal exposure, and offer compliance as a service to their clients.

Secondary: e-commerce operators, SaaS companies, NGOs, and public sector organizations operating Swiss websites.

Aiara.ch's answer

Aiara was built by the team at Sidora AG, a Swiss digital agency based in Winterthur.

When Switzerland's revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) came into force in September 2023, we saw the same problem repeat itself across dozens of client projects: existing tools didn't properly cover Swiss law, privacy policies were outdated, and agencies were spending hours on compliance work that should take minutes.

We built Aiara to solve our own problem first — and then realized every Swiss website owner had the same pain. What started as an internal tool became a product: a Swiss-made, Swiss-law-first privacy suite that handles the full compliance stack in one place.

Today Aiara helps Swiss businesses stay compliant without legal expertise, and agencies deliver compliant websites to their clients at scale.
