The Brussels Privacy Hub invites you to a webinar to be hosted online on 28 November 16:30-17:30 CET, titled "From Standard Contractual Clauses to Data Free Flow with Trust: The Latest on Data Transfers." Registration is free but obligatory.

International data transfers remain a cornerstone of global data governance, and recent developments are reshaping the regulatory landscape. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the most widely used mechanism for transferring personal data under the EU GDPR, are evolving. The European Commission is working on new SCC templates to address GDPR-bound data importers, complementing the 2021 version. Additionally, the Dutch Supervisory Authority recently imposed fines on Uber for non-compliance with GDPR’s data transfer requirements.

Meanwhile, other jurisdictions, like Brazil, have introduced their own SCC templates, aiming for EU adequacy. On a broader scale, the Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT) initiative—a global effort originating from G20 and G7 discussions and now involving the OECD—aims to establish a framework for trust-based international data transfers.

This webinar will explore:

• The latest updates on EU SCCs and their implications for data controllers.
• How jurisdictions like Brazil are aligning their frameworks with EU standards.
• The future direction of the DFFT initiative and its impact on global data governance.

The webinar will be moderated by BPH Co-director Sophie Stalla-Bourdillon and will feature the following speakers:

• Nikolaos Theodorakis, Partner, Wilson Sonsini
• Giuseppe Bianco, OECD
• Lucas Anjos, ANPD

Join us to stay informed on these critical developments and their practical implications.
