Why datascan.ch?
datascan.ch was built specifically for the DACH region — Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. This fundamentally sets us apart from US-based providers:
- Swiss and European data brokers: We know the data brokers and credit agencies in the DACH region (e.g., CRIF, ZEK, Localsearch, local.ch) and how to submit deletion requests under nDSG and GDPR.
- Legal expertise: Our requests are based on Swiss data protection law (nDSG) and the GDPR — not the US CCPA, which has no legal effect in Europe.
- Multilingual: The platform and all deletion requests are available in German, English, and French — essential for multilingual Switzerland.
- Swiss company: Pi Digital Solutions Sàrl is headquartered in Switzerland. Your data is subject to Swiss data protection law.
- CRIF and ZEK self-disclosure: We are the only provider in this comparison that supports requesting your self-disclosure from Switzerland's key credit agencies (in the Pro plan).
When is another provider a better fit?
We want to be honest: datascan.ch is not the best choice for everyone.
- You live in the US: Incogni, DeleteMe, and Kanary cover significantly more US data brokers than we do. If your focus is the US market, these services are the better choice.
- You need global coverage: Incogni (Surfshark) has a large network of international data brokers. For purely international coverage without a DACH focus, this can be an advantage.
- You don't need a Swiss connection: If you don't live in Switzerland or the DACH region and don't need to remove data from Swiss or European data brokers, US services offer a broader range.
Our focus is clearly on the DACH region. If that's your market, we are the specialized solution for it.
