According to the human civil rights movements, the Swiss Ordinance on the Surveillance of Post and Telecommunications Traffic (VÜPF) significantly extends the obligation of metadata retention for large communications service providers. It also imposes user identification requirements on virtually all online service providers, including virtual private network (VPN) providers.

A coalition of international human and digital rights organizations, including Amnesty International and European Digital Rights (EDRi), urges the Swiss Federal Council to amend or abandon proposed changes that would expand mass data retention and user identification obligations for nearly all telecom and internet service providers.
