Transborder data flows from European Union (EU) countries are covered under Article 25 of the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46. In the Working Party document WP 12/98 on “Transfers of personal data to third countries”, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) were proposed as one of the well accepted ways of transferring data to such countries. SCCs were revised in year 2002, and another version was brought out by the Working Party in February 2010. It is important for the IT-BPM service providers, especially the BPM organizations in India to have understanding of the SCCs. With this in view, DSCI requested Ms. Vaiji Raghunathan to create a self-contained FAQs de-mystifying the clauses.
