What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.
In force since 1 January 2019.
A cross border transfer rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 24 August 2026.
What it requires
- 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.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
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.
