DSG Cross-Border Transfer Chapter and EEA Joint Committee Decision No. 154/2018
The DSG carries its own transfer chapter, modeled on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Chapter V, rather than being bound by the EU Regulation's Chapter V directly, since Liechtenstein is outside the EU.
Because Liechtenstein is inside the EEA and GDPR is incorporated EEA-wide, a transfer from Liechtenstein to an EU or EEA state is not a restricted cross-border transfer under this framework, by the same logic that intra-EU transfers are unrestricted under GDPR Chapter V itself; a transfer to a country outside the EEA is where the DSG's own adequacy, safeguards, or derogation mechanism engages. The DSG's own transfer-chapter article number and text were not independently confirmed against primary text this pass.
What it asks of an app
- Rely on an adequacy finding, appropriate safeguards, or a narrow derogation under the DSG's own transfer chapter before moving personal data of a person in Liechtenstein to a country outside the European Economic Area; a transfer to an EU or EEA state is not restricted under this framework.
