Adequacy

 

In data protection law, transfers of personal data must be safeguarded by written contracts between the parties. If the personal data is transferred from the EU to a country which the European Commission has not been recognised as having adequate data protection standards, special clauses, known as SCCs are usually inserted in these contracts. In July 2020, a decision by the European Court of Justice made it virtually impossible for companies to determine whether the SCCs must be supplemented by additional clauses to ensure the personal data is appropriately protected.

 

From the beginning of 2021, the UK Government will have the ability to make it easier for UK data exporters to know what the UK’s data protection rules are. This ode assumes that the UK Government will rise to the challenge.  

 

My my
At Waterloo, Max Shrems we didn’t surrender
Oh yeah
And we will meet our destiny in quite a cunning way
The statute book on our shelf
Is always repeating itself

Adequacy – You were defeated, we won the war
Adequacy - Promise to love us for ever more
Adequacy - Couldn't escape if you wanted to
Adequacy - Knowing our fate is to be with you
Adequacy - Finally facing your Waterloo

 

My my
Noyb tried to hold us back, but we were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems your only chance is giving up the fight
How could you ever refuse
Shouldn’t claim that you win when you lose

Adequacy – We are the ones that will make it clear
Adequacy – Saying the words they all want to hear
Adequacy – Contracting with us is such a breeze
Adequacy – Doing away with SCCs
Adequacy - Finally facing your Waterloo

 

How could you ever refuse
Shouldn’t claim that you win when you lose
