Final reminder: 21 March 2024 deadline looms for moving away from the old EU standard contractual clauses
15 Jan 2024
In Autumn 2022 we reported that 22 September 2022 marked the date from which you could no longer use the old EU Standard Contractual Clauses adopted in 2001 and 2010 by the European Commission (the Old EU SCCs) for new contracts transferring personal data outside of the UK under the UK GDPR.
For contracts entered into before 21 September 2022, you could continue to use the Old EU SCCs for an additional period of time before needing to change to an alternative transfer mechanism. This effectively gave organisations an implementation window during which time they could identify any transfers taking place under the Old EU SCCs and then assess those transfers to implement an alternative mechanism.
