STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES
On 4 June 2021, the European Commission adopted a new set of standard contractual clauses (the "SCCs") for the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU as well as for use between controllers and processors, this being in our view a welcome news for processors and sub-processors. The new set of the SCCs reflects the GDPR requirements and in case of the SCCs for transfers of personal data to third countries also addresses the requirements of the Schrems II judgement.
