The validity of personal data transfers to recipients in the United States and non-EU/EEA countries, has been called into question. On 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) handed down its judgment following a referral by the Irish High Court relating to a case brought by privacy rights activist, Max Schrems (C311/18, Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems) (Schrems II). The CJEU found the Privacy Shield to be an invalid transfers mechanism, and the SCCs to be valid transfer mechanism, with the latter now subject to additional obligations.
