Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)

European Commission contract clauses used as a transfer safeguard for certain exports of personal data outside the EEA.

In practice

Execute the correct module, complete annexes, assess the transfer, and implement supplementary measures where needed.

Common confusion

SCCs do not automatically cure every transfer risk or replace a DPA.
