The new SCCs replace the old SCCs that were adopted under the previous Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. Since September 27th, 2021, it is no longer possible to conclude contracts incorporating these old SCCs. Until December 27th, 2022, controllers and processors can continue to rely on those old SCCs for contracts that were concluded before September 27th, 2021, provided that the processing operations that are the subject matter of the contract remain unchanged. After this date, international data transfers may only be based on the new SCCs, which must therefore be concluded by the end of the year.
