Court of Justice of the European Union invalidates UE-US Privacy Shield (Schrems II)
On 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a landmark ruling on the Schrems II case (Case C-362/14). As expected, CJEU decided on the invalidity of the EU-US Privacy Shield, one of the mechanisms used by organisations to transfer personal data to the USA. In its judgment, the CJEU also noted on the use of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) mechanism.
