Legal Bases for International Personal Data Transfers
. Under this Resolution, international personal data transfers rely on one of the following legal bases:
Adequacy decision,
Standard Contractual Clauses (Brazil SCCs),
Specific Contractual Clauses,
or Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs).
After careful evaluation, SAP applies the use of Brazil SCCs in its customer relationships where necessary.
Structure of the Brazil SCC
Brazil SCCs are organized into four main sections:
General Information, includes party details and the nature of data processing;
Mandatory Clauses, non-negotiable baseline data protection standards;
Security Measures, technical and organizational measures for data protection; and
Additional Clauses and Annexes for supplemental terms consistent with mandatory clauses.
Brazil SCC vs. European Union standard Contractual Clauses (EU SCC)
Unlike the EU’s SCC modular structure, the Brazil SCCs follow a role-based model with two modules:
Module A (Controller-to-Controller / Controller-to-Processor): Requires Controllers to ensure LGPD
compliance, transparency, and security, with responsibilities designated to Exporter/Importer;
Module B (Processor-to-Processor): Requires the Exporter to follow instructions from Third-Party
Controller , remain liable for compliance and assist with legal obligations
SAP’s Approach to Implementing the Brazil SCC
Where necessary, SAP will sign an amendment to the Data Processing Agreements with its customers
referencing the application of the Brazil SCCs to ensure compliance with the Regulation.
