The deadline for switching to the [new EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC)](https://www.outsidegc.com/blog/eu-scc-international-data-transfers) for data transfers between the EU and non-EU countries is December 27, 2022. As of that date, data controllers and processors around the world that process the personal data of EU residents will no longer be able to rely on the old SCCs without violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
