German DPA Publishes Schrems II Transfer Compliance Checklist and Suggested Modifications to SCCs

On August 24, 2020, the data protection authority of the German state of Baden-Württemberg published guidance on international transfers of personal data following the Schrems II judgment.

This represents the first comprehensive guidance by a European privacy supervisor indicating how it intends to enforce the Schrems II decision. As well as including a Schrems II compliance checklist, it provides some recommendations on modifying the Standard Contractual Clauses to allow the parties to document their intent to act in accordance with the law.
