```We have included a conclusion that Swiss Privacy laws are good, and very similar to German privacy laws.```

This is weird to me in that these are laws of man, and therefore ignorable or lopphole-able by other humans if they can. Usually, by sneaky buggers in the intelligence agencies. It is, after all, their job.

Rather, I would want the standard to be something akin `Our laws do not force weakening of efforts to establish and maintain privacy.` which is to mean no meddling in E2EE, forcing VPN providers to keep logs, etc.
