Standard contractual clauses
Quick answer
Template contract terms approved by the European Commission for transferring personal data from the EU to other countries.
SCCs are used when the destination country lacks an adequacy decision. They are usually paired with a transfer risk assessment.
They matter only when personal data leaves the EU. U.S. suppliers licensing de-identified U.S. records rarely need them.
