The standard processing agreement (VWO) for municipalities has changed. The European Court of Justice ruled in July 2020 that the Privacy Shield, which governs the transfer of personal data from the EU to the U.S., is invalid. The European Data Protection Board has published new guidance in response to this ruling. This regulates how data controllers can safely arrange the transfer of personal data to third countries. This has prompted the IBD, after consultation with the Management Group, to publish an interim amendment to the Standard VWO.
