Personal Data Act and GDPR Chapter V, Cross-Border Transfer from Norway

cite personopplysningsloven LOV-2018-06-15-38, transfer provisions stage In effect since 2018-07-20 reviewed 2026-08-24

Transfers within the EEA, including to EU member states, are unrestricted; the restriction applies to transfers to third countries outside the EEA. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Chapter V, incorporated as Norwegian law through the Act, permits such a transfer only on an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules, or a narrow Article 49 derogation, backed by the Article 83(5) top fine tier.

No Norway-specific provision in Chapter 3 narrowing or broadening this beyond the incorporated GDPR text was found in the provisions read directly.

What it asks of an app

  • Rely on a European Commission adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses with a transfer impact assessment, Binding Corporate Rules, or a narrow Article 49 derogation before moving personal data of a person in Norway outside the European Economic Area.
