EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Word documents)

This resource provides a set of documents specific to different standard contractual clause scenarios.


Published: August 2021


On June 4, 2021, the European Commission released new standard contractual clauses for international data transfers. Organizations will need to use these SCCs to govern new data transfers made under Article 46(2)(c) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation beginning late September 2021 and replace existing SCCs to govern current processing operations starting late December 2022. To assist organizations with this task, IAPP’s Research and Insights team created four separate Word documents, one for each transfer scenario accommodated by the new SCCs, incorporating only the modules relevant to that scenario into each document.
