This infographic outlines the steps to be taken by any organization for a personal data transfer assessment in the light of the Schrems II case, the position of the European data protection board, and the new Standard Contractual Clauses.
The European Commission published the new Standard Contractual Clauses on data transfers that have relevant implications and new substantial obligations.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have adopted joint opinions on two sets of new standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
The publication of the new standard contractual clauses is a step ahead for data transfers, but considerable new obligations are imposed on businesses.ย
The opinion of the advocate general on the Schrems II case might lead to uncertainties on data transfers when a clear privacy law framework is, on the contrary, necessary for the digital economy.
