Similarities And Divergences - Comparison Between CN SCCs And GDPR SCCs

My previous article, A Glimpse of the Regulatory Mechanism for the China SCCs, provided a high-level summary of the regulatory mechanism to rely on the CN SCCs to outbound transfer personal information from China. It introduced the applicable scope, conditions precedent and the filing requirements of the regulatory mechanism. From that article, you may have a general understanding that the CN SCCs has its origin from the GDPR SCCs. In this Article, Estella and I will make a deep dive into the CN SCCs to share with you some more details about the relationship between CN SCCs and GDPR SCCs. However, due to our limited knowledge of GDPR SCCs practice, our comments about GDPR SCCs may not be accurate in all aspects. If you find places where our understanding can be improved, you are welcome to contact us about it. Thank you!
