Webinar on the New Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU for Transfer of Personal Data from EU to Third Countries

Webinar on the New Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU for Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU) imposes requirements on the transfer of personal data from EU to non-EU countries. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) have been heavily relied upon by many organisations to enable lawful and secure transfer of personal data from the EU to third countries. In June 2021, the European Commission adopted a new set of SCCs to better reflect the requirements under the GDPR and the ruling made by the Court of Justice of the EU in the case of Schrems II that also invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield. In this webinar, the PCPD invites expert speakers to-

  • Explain the requirements on international transfer of personal data under the GDPR and the effect of the ruling in Schrems II;
  • Explain the features of the new SCCs adopted by the European Commission and how organisations in Hong Kong can make use of the new SCCs to comply with the relevant legal requirements on transfer of personal data from the EU; and
  • Share practical experience in transferring personal data from the EU to Hong Kong
