Data protection: Standard contractual clauses to facilitate personal
data transfers to third countries for processing Countries
Full text for downloading (PDF files, 557-734 KB)
The European Commission has adopted a Decision setting out standard
contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors
(subcontractors) established in non-EU countries that are not
recognised as offering an adequate level of data protection. The
Decision simplifies the process for companies and organisations
wishing or needing to transfer personal data for processing in a
third country. In particular, the Decision offers companies a
straightforward means of complying with their obligation to ensure
"adequate protection" for personal data transferred to countries
outside the EU. Use of these standard contractual clauses will be
voluntary. Under the standard contractual clauses, an EU company
exporting data should instruct its subcontractor to treat the data
with full respect to the EU data protection requirements and should
guarantee that appropriate technical and security measures are in
place in the destination country. It complements Decision 2001/497/EC
(IP/01/851) which laid down standard clauses for the transfer of
personal data to controllers.
