action_plan Read-only

Use when someone asks what their organisation must do about data protection, or how to start. The steps that apply to its profile under the Swiss FADP, the GDPR and the AI Act, in the order EasyLPD's path follows (six stages), each with the articles of each law, its weight, why it matters and the template that carries it out with the link to its page. With answers from assessment_questions, the steps already done are left out.

assessment_questions

Use when someone wants to check where their organisation stands with data protection. The questions of EasyLPD's self-assessment that apply to an organisation's profile, each with its id, area, why it matters, its weight and the legal references. Ask them in the conversation, a few at a time, answer each with yes, partial, no, unknown (the person does not know: it counts as not in place until checked) or na, then call score_assessment.

score_assessment

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
ai	boolean	Uses AI systems in its work (AI assistants, chatbots, automated screening or scoring).

transfer_check

Use when someone asks whether they may use a provider or send personal data to another country (cloud, hosting, CRM, US services). Whether sending personal data to a country is allowed without further safeguards under the Swiss FADP and under the EU GDPR (adequacy lists), by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. The lists change: check them before relying on the answer.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
lang	string	Language of the answer: it, de, fr or en.
country*	string	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, e.g. US, DE, JP.

      "description": "ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, e.g. US, DE, JP."
    }
  }
}

which_laws_apply

Use first when someone asks which data protection laws their organisation must follow (Swiss FADP/nLPD/DSG, EU GDPR, EU AI Act), for example a Swiss company selling online to the EU. Returns the core obligations that follow for that profile and those that only one of the two laws asks, each with the articles of each law and the template that carries it out. Tells whether the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/LPD/DSG), the EU GDPR and the EU AI Act apply to an organisation, from five yes/no questions (GDPR art. 3 and AI Act art. 2 territorial scope included). The AI Act binds organisations established in the EU or whose AI output is used there; Switzerland has no AI law yet, but rules that keep staff from putting personal data into AI tools follow from the FADP and are good practice. Guidance, not legal advice.
