What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
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 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; 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.
