COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2021/915
of 4 June 2021
on standard contractual clauses between controllers and processors under Article 28(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Article 29(7) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (GDPR) (1), and in particular Article 28(7) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) N 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC (EUDPR) (2), and in particular Article 29(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The concepts of controller and processor play a crucial role in the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. For the purpose of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, a controller means the Union institution or body or the directorate-general or any other organisational entity which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by a specific Union act, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination can be provided for by the Union. A processor is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, which processes personal data on the controller’s behalf. |
(2) |
The same set of standard contractual clauses should apply in respect of the relationship between data controllers and data processors subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and also when they are subject to Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. This is because, in order to have a coherent approach to personal data protection throughout the Union and the free movement of personal data in the Union, the data protection rules in Regulation (EU) 2016/679, applicable to the public sector in the Member States, and the data protection rules in Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, applicable to Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, have, as far as possible, been aligned with each other. |
(3) |
To ensure compliance with the requirements of Regulations (EU) 2016/679 and (EU) 2018/1725, when entrusting a processor with processing activities, the controller should use only processors providing sufficient guarantees, in particular in terms of expert knowledge, reliability and resources, to implement technical and organizational measures which meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, including for the security of processing. |
(4) |
The processing by a processor is to be governed by a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, that is binding on the processor with regard to the controller and that sets out the elements listed in Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Article 29(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. That contract or act shall be in writing, including in electronic form. |
(5) |
In accordance with Article 28(6) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 29(6) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the controller and processor may choose to negotiate an individual contract containing the compulsory elements set out in Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Article 29(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, respectively, or to use, in whole or in part, standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 28(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 29(7)of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(6) |
The controller and processor should be free to include the standard contractual clauses in this Decision in a broader contract, and to add other clauses or additional safeguards provided that they do not directly or indirectly contradict the standard contractual clauses or prejudice the fundamental rights or freedoms of data subjects. Use of the standard contractual clauses is notwithstanding any contractual obligations of the controller and/or processor to ensure respect for applicable privileges and immunities. |
(7) |
The standard contractual clauses should encompass both substantive and procedural rules. In line with Article 28(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 29(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the standard contractual clauses should also require the controller and processor to set out the subject matter and duration of the processing, its nature and purpose, the type of personal data concerned, the categories of data subjects and the obligations and rights of the controller. |
(8) |
Pursuant to Article 28(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and pursuant to Article 29(3) Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the processor has to inform the controller immediately if, in its opinion, an instruction of the controller infringes Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, or other Union or Member State data protection provisions. |
(9) |
If a processor enlists another processor to carry out specific activities, the specific requirements referred to in Article 28(2) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Article 29(2) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 should apply. In particular, a prior specific or general written authorisation is required. Whether this prior authorisation is specific or general, the first processor should keep a list of other processors up to date. |
(10) |
To fulfil the requirements of Article 46(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the Commission adopted standard contractual clauses pursuant to Article 46(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Those clauses also fulfil the requirements of Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 for data transfers from controllers subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 to processors outside the territorial scope of application of that Regulation or from processors subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 to sub-processors outside the territorial scope of that Regulation. These standard contractual clauses cannot be used as standard contractual clauses for the purpose of Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. |
(11) |
Third parties should be able to become a party to the standard contractual clauses throughout the life cycle of the contract. |
(12) |
The operation of the standard contractual clauses should be evaluated, as a sub-part of the periodic evaluation of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 referred to in Article 97 of that Regulation. |
(13) |
The European Data Protection Supervisor and the European Data Protection Board were consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 and delivered a joint opinion on 14 January 2021 (3), which has been taken into consideration in the preparation of this Decision. |
(14) |
The measures provided for in this Decision accord with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 93 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 96(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

ANNEX
Standard contractual clauses
SECTION I
Clause 1
Purpose and scope
(a) |
The purpose of these Standard Contractual Clauses (the Clauses) is to ensure compliance with [choose relevant option: OPTION 1: Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)] / [OPTION 2: Article 29(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC]. |
(b) |
The controllers and processors listed in Annex I have agreed to these Clauses in order to ensure compliance with Article 28(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Article 29(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(c) |
These Clauses apply to the processing of personal data as specified in Annex II. |
(d) |
Annexes I to IV are an integral part of the Clauses. |
(e) |
These Clauses are without prejudice to obligations to which the controller is subject by virtue of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(f) |
These Clauses do not by themselves ensure compliance with obligations related to international transfers in accordance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
Clause 2
Invariability of the Clauses
(a) |
The Parties undertake not to modify the Clauses, except for adding information to the Annexes or updating information in them. |
(b) |
This does not prevent the Parties from including the standard contractual clauses laid down in these Clauses in a broader contract, or from adding other clauses or additional safeguards provided that they do not directly or indirectly contradict the Clauses or detract from the fundamental rights or freedoms of data subjects. |
Clause 3
Interpretation
(a) |
Where these Clauses use the terms defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 respectively, those terms shall have the same meaning as in that Regulation. |
(b) |
These Clauses shall be read and interpreted in the light of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 respectively. |
(c) |
These Clauses shall not be interpreted in a way that runs counter to the rights and obligations provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 / Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 or in a way that prejudices the fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subjects. |
Clause 4
Hierarchy
In the event of a contradiction between these Clauses and the provisions of related agreements between the Parties existing at the time when these Clauses are agreed or entered into thereafter, these Clauses shall prevail.
Clause 5 - Optional
Docking clause
(a) |
Any entity that is not a Party to these Clauses may, with the agreement of all the Parties, accede to these Clauses at any time as a controller or a processor by completing the Annexes and signing Annex I. |
(b) |
Once the Annexes in (a) are completed and signed, the acceding entity shall be treated as a Party to these Clauses and have the rights and obligations of a controller or a processor, in accordance with its designation in Annex I. |
(c) |
The acceding entity shall have no rights or obligations resulting from these Clauses from the period prior to becoming a Party. |
SECTION II
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
Clause 6
Description of processing(s)
The details of the processing operations, in particular the categories of personal data and the purposes of processing for which the personal data is processed on behalf of the controller, are specified in Annex II.
Clause7
Obligations of the Parties
7.1. Instructions
(a) |
The processor shall process personal data only on documented instructions from the controller, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject. In this case, the processor shall inform the controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless the law prohibits this on important grounds of public interest. Subsequent instructions may also be given by the controller throughout the duration of the processing of personal data. These instructions shall always be documented. |
(b) |
The processor shall immediately inform the controller if, in the processor’s opinion, instructions given by the controller infringe Regulation (EU) 2016/679 / Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 or the applicable Union or Member State data protection provisions. |
7.2. Purpose limitation
The processor shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the processing, as set out in Annex II, unless it receives further instructions from the controller.
7.3. Duration of the processing of personal data
Processing by the processor shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex II.
7.4. Security of processing
(a) |
The processor shall at least implement the technical and organisational measures specified in Annex III to ensure the security of the personal data. This includes protecting the data against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to the data (personal data breach). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing and the risks involved for the data subjects. |
(b) |
The processor shall grant access to the personal data undergoing processing to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for implementing, managing and monitoring of the contract. The processor shall ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data received have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. |
7.5. Sensitive data
If the processing involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions and offences (“sensitive data”), the processor shall apply specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards.
7.6. Documentation and compliance
(a) |
The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. |
(b) |
The processor shall deal promptly and adequately with inquiries from the controller about the processing of data in accordance with these Clauses. |
(c) |
The processor shall make available to the controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations that are set out in these Clauses and stem directly from Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. At the controller’s request, the processor shall also permit and contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by these Clauses, at reasonable intervals or if there are indications of non-compliance. In deciding on a review or an audit, the controller may take into account relevant certifications held by the processor. |
(d) |
The controller may choose to conduct the audit by itself or mandate an independent auditor. Audits may also include inspections at the premises or physical facilities of the processor and shall, where appropriate, be carried out with reasonable notice. |
(e) |
The Parties shall make the information referred to in this Clause, including the results of any audits, available to the competent supervisory authority/ies on request. |
7.7. Use of sub-processors
(a) |
OPTION 1: PRIOR SPECIFIC AUTHORISATION: The processor shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the controller in accordance with these Clauses to a sub-processor, without the controller’s prior specific written authorisation. The processor shall submit the request for specific authorisation at least [SPECIFY TIME PERIOD] prior to the engagement of the sub-processor in question, together with the information necessary to enable the controller to decide on the authorisation. The list of sub-processors authorised by the controller can be found in Annex IV. The Parties shall keep Annex IV up to date. OPTION 2: GENERAL WRITTEN AUTHORISATION: The processor has the controller’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processors from an agreed list. The processor shall specifically inform in writing the controller of any intended changes of that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least [SPECIFY TIME PERIOD] in advance, thereby giving the controller sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the concerned sub-processor(s). The processor shall provide the controller with the information necessary to enable the controller to exercise the right to object. |
(b) |
Where the processor engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the controller), it shall do so by way of a contract which imposes on the sub-processor, in substance, the same data protection obligations as the ones imposed on the data processor in accordance with these Clauses. The processor shall ensure that the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the processor is subject pursuant to these Clauses and to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(c) |
At the controller’s request, the processor shall provide a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the controller. To the extent necessary to protect business secret or other confidential information, including personal data, the processor may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing the copy. |
(d) |
The processor shall remain fully responsible to the controller for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations in accordance with its contract with the processor. The processor shall notify the controller of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its contractual obligations. |
(e) |
The processor shall agree a third party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby - in the event the processor has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent - the controller shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data. |
7.8. International transfers
(a) |
Any transfer of data to a third country or an international organisation by the processor shall be done only on the basis of documented instructions from the controller or in order to fulfil a specific requirement under Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject and shall take place in compliance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(b) |
The controller agrees that where the processor engages a sub-processor in accordance with Clause 7.7. for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the controller) and those processing activities involve a transfer of personal data within the meaning of Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the processor and the sub-processor can ensure compliance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 by using standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commission in accordance with of Article 46(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, provided the conditions for the use of those standard contractual clauses are met. |
Clause 8
Assistance to the controller
(a) |
The processor shall promptly notify the controller of any request it has received from the data subject. It shall not respond to the request itself, unless authorised to do so by the controller. |
(b) |
The processor shall assist the controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights, taking into account the nature of the processing. In fulfilling its obligations in accordance with (a) and (b), the processor shall comply with the controller’s instructions |
(c) |
In addition to the processor’s obligation to assist the controller pursuant to Clause 8(b), the processor shall furthermore assist the controller in ensuring compliance with the following obligations, taking into account the nature of the data processing and the information available to the processor:
|
(d) |
The Parties shall set out in Annex III the appropriate technical and organisational measures by which the processor is required to assist the controller in the application of this Clause as well as the scope and the extent of the assistance required. |
Clause 9
Notification of personal data breach
In the event of a personal data breach, the processor shall cooperate with and assist the controller for the controller to comply with its obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or under Articles 34 and 35 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, where applicable, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the processor.
9.1 Data breach concerning data processed by the controller
In the event of a personal data breach concerning data processed by the controller, the processor shall assist the controller:
(a) |
in notifying the personal data breach to the competent supervisory authority/ies, without undue delay after the controller has become aware of it, where relevant/(unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons); |
(b) |
in obtaining the following information which, pursuant to [OPTION 1] Article 33(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679/ [OPTION 2] Article 34(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, shall be stated in the controller’s notification, and must at least include:
|
Where, and insofar as, it is not possible to provide all this information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
(c) |
in complying, pursuant to [OPTION 1] Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 / [OPTION 2] Article 35 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, with the obligation to communicate without undue delay the personal data breach to the data subject, when the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. |
9.2 Data breach concerning data processed by the processor
In the event of a personal data breach concerning data processed by the processor, the processor shall notify the controller without undue delay after the processor having become aware of the breach. Such notification shall contain, at least:
(a) |
a description of the nature of the breach (including, where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects and data records concerned); |
(b) |
the details of a contact point where more information concerning the personal data breach can be obtained; |
(c) |
its likely consequences and the measures taken or proposed to be taken to address the breach, including to mitigate its possible adverse effects. |
Where, and insofar as, it is not possible to provide all this information at the same time, the initial notification shall contain the information then available and further information shall, as it becomes available, subsequently be provided without undue delay.
The Parties shall set out in Annex III all other elements to be provided by the processor when assisting the controller in the compliance with the controller’s obligations under [OPTION 1] Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 / [OPTION 2] Articles 34 and 35 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.
