Standard Contractual Clauses

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are legal tools used in international data transfers to ensure that personal information is protected according to strict European Union privacy standards. When businesses share personal data outside the EU, SCCs act as a safeguard, ensuring that the receiving party agrees to uphold the same level of data protection as required in the EU. Essentially, they are pre-approved agreements that help organizations comply with data protection laws, facilitating safe and responsible data handling across borders.
