What this law does

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

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. Chapter 3 contains no Norway-specific provision narrowing or broadening this beyond the incorporated GDPR text.
