What are the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses?
The European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) are legal contracts entered into between parties that are transferring EU personal data outside of the EU to countries that lack adequate or equivalent data protection. The initial standard contractual clauses for controller-to-processor transfers were drafted and approved by the European Commission in 2010. Following theSchrems IIdecision, the European Commission drafted new standard contractual clauses to incorporate the requirements of GDPR and theSchrems IIdecision. The new SCCs were subject to consultation until December 10, 2020 and their final version was published on June 7, 2021. The European Commission grants companies a transitional period of 18 months to implement the new SCCs into their existing contracts. Smartsheet’s updatedDPAincorporates the recently adopted new SCCs.
