A transfer of personal data outside the EEA requires an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards, or a narrow Article 49 derogation, backed by the Article 83(5)(c) top fine tier. DLA Piper's commentary confirms no further Slovak derogation, describing free movement of personal data between Slovakia and other EU member states; no primary text was read.
