Common questions
What is here?
Data about Switzerland, collected from sources around the world, checked against the original and published as pages you can read.
Where does it come from?
From public registers, official statistics, open data portals and published datasets. Every page names its source and links to it.
Do you change the figures?
No. We restructure and translate, we never alter values. If two sources disagree, the page says so.
Does it cost anything?
No. The site is free to use and there is no account.
Is Datist official?
No. It is an independent project, not an authority, and it decides nothing.
Why is a page missing in one language?
Because no real text exists for it yet. We do not machine translate.
Something here is wrong.
Tell us. If the source says otherwise, we correct it.
