How does Reclaim handle the invalidation of the Privacy Shield under Schrems II?

In regards to EU-US and Swiss-US international data transfers, following i) invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework in case C-311/18 by the Court of Justice of the European Union and ii) the opinion of the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) of 8 September, 2020, Reclaim no longer relies on i) the EU-US Privacy Shield and ii) the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks as mechanisms for international data transfer, until further notice.

However, Reclaim remains committed to maintaining certifications under the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks and complying with Privacy Shield Principles as an additional way of protecting our users’ privacy.

Will you offer Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)?

Yes - The SCCs are contractual terms that allow companies to transfer and process data outside the EU and UK in compliance with the GDPR. They were approved by the European Commission and are the primary mechanism for data transfers. You will find the SCCs in our Data Processing Agreement found here: https://reclaim.ai/dpa.
