Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are standard contractual terms that have been pre-approved by the European Commission and serve as one of the legal transfer mechanisms to allow personal data to flow outside of the EU/EEA. The EU Commission published an updated version of the SCCs on 4th June 2021 to modernize the SCCs, account for sub-processors and additional models (e.g. P2C and P2P), and add additional contractual safeguards in response to the Schrems II decision.
