DSG Special-Category Data and Datenschutzstelle Biometric-Data Concept in Liechtenstein
Biometric identifiers are governed by the DSG's own special-category-data provisions, modeled on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 9.
The Datenschutzstelle's own published glossary of GDPR-equivalent concepts, fetched and read directly, names both voice and images within the biometric-data concept it applies, and separately notes that voice is treated as a behavioral characteristic, with the specific technical processing method determining whether a given voice capture rises to the level of unique-identification biometric data.
This is the regulator's own restatement of the concept, not a quote from the DSG's own statutory Article 4 text, which could not be accessed directly in this pass; it is recorded at medium confidence for that reason. No Liechtenstein-specific voiceprint or faceprint case or regulatory guidance beyond this glossary entry was located.
What it asks of an app
- Ground the processing of any biometric identifier of a person in Liechtenstein, including a faceprint or voiceprint captured for unique identification, on a DSG condition equivalent to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 9(2), such as explicit consent.
