From the magazine

Whistleblowing – Achtung Datenschutz

Wer ein Whistleblowing System einführt, muss strenge Datenschutzvorgaben einhalten. Die Umsetzung gilt – insbesondere wenn auch Personen in der EU betroffen sind – als äusserst anspruchsvoll, da im Hinblick auf den Datenschutz mehrere Stolpersteine existieren. Die rechtssichere Einführung einer Whistleblowing Plattform bedarf daher einer gründlichen Vorbereitung.

On June 4, 2021, the European Commission published a new set of standard contractual clauses (SCC) for the international transfer of personal data. However, their use only partially solves the problems arising from the ECJ's Schrems II ruling. In this article, we illustrate how the new SCC can be used to transfer personal data to recipients in the USA and other third countries in compliance with the GDPR.
