The Definitive Guide to Schrems II eBook

On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) published its judgment in the Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems (C-311/18) (the Schrems II case). In its judgment, the CJEU declared the EU-US Privacy Shield – one of the primary data transfer mechanisms for the safe and free flow of data between EU and US organizations - invalid. The judgment did uphold the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), however, it cast some doubt over this method of transferring personal data outside of the EU. The outcome of the judgment left many organizations having to re-think the way they handle personal data transfers and whether the transfer mechanisms they have in place were compliant with EU data protection law.
