IncaMail for public authorities
Send secure and recognized e-mails

Anchor Navigation

Sending sensitive documents such as register extracts via e-mail is practical and efficient, but there are risks involved. If you mail information of this kind in an unsecured digital format, you can soon come into conflict with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). IncaMail can help. With IncaMail, you can send confidential documents to any recipient in a verifiable and encrypted format, directly from your usual e-mail client or business software.

GDPR and FADP: don’t take any risks!

Normal e-mails are not only insufficiently protected, they also fail to meet the requirements of the Federal Act on Data Protection. Under Switzerland’s Federal Act on Data Protection, all personal data relating to an identified or identifiable person must be protected. This includes a person’s first name and last name, but also a lot of other data that public authorities process on a daily basis. Protecting personal data from unauthorized access is an obligation. Sending this kind of data via e-mail in an unprotected format risks incurring heavy fines. In the EU in particular, GDPR violations are pursued rigorously.

Electronic registered mail: acceptance receipts as proof

Do you need to send a lot of mail via “registered mail” for regulatory reasons? If so, IncaMail’s “registered mail” mailing option is the solution! Send important documents conveniently and securely via e-mail directly from your computer. When doing so, you and your recipient will receive digitally signed submission and acceptance receipts as proof. You can send items from your existing e-mail infrastructure (e.g. Outlook) or business software (e.g. SAP). IncaMail’s “registered” mailing option is legally approved for various official procedures (e.g. civil/criminal proceedings, debt collection proceedings and bankruptcy proceedings). Find out how your public authority can save time and money with the “registered” option from IncaMail.
