European Union’s Revamped Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)

On June 7, 2021, the European Commission published its long-awaited Implementing Decision adopting standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries referred to as the new Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Read the whitepaper to deep dive into the clauses and obligations.

The Old SCCs will be valid until 27 September 2021. Companies and organizations can continue executing the Old SCCs to cover their data transfers outside the EEA till then.

You do not need to have an original signed copy of the standard contractual clauses to comply with the GDPR rules on restricted transfers. A scanned signed version of the complete contract is sufficient evidence.
