In a decision published 16.07.2020, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled the "Privacy Shield" agreement on data transfer between the EU and the USA invalid. Although standard contractual clauses (SCCs) remain a possible solution for securing such data transfers, companies must also comply with the requirements of the ECJ when using SCCs.
