Added: March 9, 2026
Applicable: EU, EEA

Detailed Explanation

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are model contract clauses pre-approved by the European Commission. They provide a legal mechanism for transferring personal data from the EU/EEA to countries that do not have an adequacy decision (like the US). They impose specific data protection obligations on both the exporter and importer.
