The SCCs Clause Samples
The SCCs, or Standard Contractual Clauses, are standardized legal provisions designed to ensure that personal data transferred from the European Economic Area to countries outside the EEA is adequately protected in compliance with EU data protection laws. These clauses are typically incorporated into contracts between data exporters and data importers, outlining specific obligations regarding data security, rights of data subjects, and mechanisms for addressing breaches. By providing a legally recognized framework for international data transfers, the SCCs help organizations comply with regulatory requirements and mitigate the risks associated with cross-border data movement.

They are incorporated into this agreement by this reference and attached in their current form as Annexure 5.
