ASEAN and the European Commission have published the Joint Guide to ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses and EU Standard Contractual Clauses, launched at the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection Conference in Brussels.
Key points
- Compares the ASEAN MCCs and EU SCCs side by side.
- Identifies commonalities and differences between the two sets of clauses.
- Helps organisations meet both regimes when transferring data between Europe and ASEAN.
- Covers security obligations, breach notification and onward transfers.
- A second part on best practices is planned.
For UK organisations, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum is based on the EU SCCs, so the guide is also useful when structuring transfers between the UK and South East Asia.
