International Data Transfers and Standard Contractual Clauses: Challenges and Practical Implementation
New regulation takes effect in August 2025 — learn how to comply
Starting in August 2025, the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) published by Brazil’s data protection authority (ANPD) will become fully enforceable — and, in the absence of adequacy decisions or equivalent clauses recognized by the authority, this mechanism will take center stage in ensuring LGPD compliance.
In this webinar, our partners specialized in data protection will explain the legal mechanisms currently available for international transfers of personal data under the LGPD, with a practical focus on the adoption and implementation of SCCs. We will cover:
The structure and requirements of the ANPD’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs);
How to align SCCs with existing contractual instruments (e.g., data protection addenda/DPAs and standardized clauses);
Practical challenges faced by Brazilian organizations when negotiating with major international players that resist signing the SCCs;
Strategies for dealing with the absence of adequacy decisions or equivalent clauses recognized by the authority
"The adoption of the Standard Contractual Clauses marks a practical turning point in LGPD compliance for international data transfers. They are no longer just a theoretical mechanism — they now require concrete action from organizations, especially in the absence of adequacy decisions or recognition of equivalent clauses."

“More than simply adhering to the ANPD’s clauses, the real challenge lies in integrating them coherently into existing international agreements without undermining previously negotiated terms. This is the new pressure point in global data negotiations.”
