On 23 July 2020, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) released a FAQ on the consequences of the CJEU’s judgement of 16 Juley 2020 (Schrems 2)
This judgment invalidates the Privacy Shield, an EU-US data transfer mechanisms, and conditions the validity of the Standards contractual clauses (SCCs), another transfer mechanisms, to the prior analysis of the level of protection provided by the third country recipient and the implementation of additional measures where necessary.
This FAQ provides a glimpse of the position of the Authorities following the CJEU Decision that calls into question the possibility to transfer any personal data to the US. However, the EDPB remains relatively unspecific as it is currently working on more detailed guidance that should be released shortly.
