Podcast: Schrems II, the EU-US Privacy Shield, SCCs, and the CJEU
Description
Summary
This is the second of two podcasts that summarise the ongoing litigation challenging the validity of legal mechanisms for international data transfers from Europe. The so-called ‘Schrems II’ case – Data Protection Commissioner v Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems C-311/18 – has led to the CJEU invalidating the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. The CJEU decided however that Standard Contractual Clauses remain a valid mechanism. This podcast summarises the ruling.
