Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are a set of contractual provisions issued by data protection authorities or organizations that facilitate the lawful international transfer of personal data. Organizations should ensure that these clauses are included in contracts with their third-party subprocessers. These contractual clauses are particularly relevant in situations where personal data is transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom to countries outside of these regions that may not have an adequate level of data protection.

Standard Contractual Clauses play a crucial role in enabling the global flow of personal data while upholding privacy and data protection standards. They provide a mechanism for organizations to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements and ensure the continuity of international data transfers in a lawful and secure manner.
