Model Contracts are standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA which have been approved by the European Commission. They have been approved on the basis that they provide sufficient safeguards for privacy, fundamental rights and the exercise of those rights. To date two sets of standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA from data controllers to data controllers and one set for transfers from data controllers to data processors have been approved by the Commission.
