In the absence of an adequacy decision, transfers take place on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (Decision 2021/914, “SCCs”), supplemented, where necessary, by additional technical and organisational measures assessed on a case-by-case basis through a Transfer Impact Assessment, in line with the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union C-311/18 (Schrems II) and EDPB Recommendations 01/2020.
