Customer SCCs and IDTA from November 2023

.html

In June 2021, the European Commission published new SCCs designed to better reflect the requirements under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) that was adopted in 2018 and to address the July 2020 ruling by the Court of Justice of the EU in the Schrems II case. Except for international transfers of personal data to a country or jurisdiction subject to an adequacy decision, the SCCs available on this page apply to all international transfers of personal data subject to GDPR occurring under contracts entered into on or after September 27, 2021. Should you have any questions, please contact our Privacy Office at privacy.enquiries@lseg.com.

On 21 March 2022 UK Parliament approved the UK IDTA (International Data Transfer Addendum) for use with the new 2021 EU SCCs. The UK IDTA replaces the old EU SCCs that were used to support UK personal data transfers, and they also take into account the binding judgement of the European Court of Justice, in the case commonly referred to as “Schrems II”. Except for international transfers of UK personal data to a country or jurisdiction subject to an adequacy decision, the SCCs and UK IDTA available on this page apply to all international transfers of personal data subject to UK GDPR occurring under contracts entered into on or after September 21, 2022. 

On 30 November 2023, in light of regulatory development in Mainland China, we have updated our SCCs to include China-specific terms and a template Standard Standard Contract for Outbound Transfer of Personal Information in the form prescribed by Cyberspace Administration of China. For this purpose, Mainland China excludes Hong Kong, SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan.
