In its July 16 decision in "Schrems II,” the Court of Justice of the European Union reaffirmed the validity of standard contractual clauses as a data transfer mechanism under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, including to the U.S. At the same time, the Court required data exporters in the EU, as well as data importers in the U.S. and other countries, to conduct mini-adequacy assessments of the ability of a data importer to comply with the SCC under its domestic law and adduce “additional safeguards,” “supplementary measures” and “effective mechanisms” where necessary.
In this recorded webinar, Eduardo Ustaran, global co-head of the Hogan Lovells Privacy and Cybersecurity practice, sits down with other leading global experts on transborder data flows to provide a deep dive into SCCs and answer questions about the path forward for this all-important transfer mechanism.
