All the mechanisms listed—Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), Adequacy Decisions, and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)—are recognized tools for lawful cross-border data transfers under global privacy regulations like the GDPR and are incorporated by reference into Indian privacy practices.
BCRs are internal rules adopted by multinational groups.
Adequacy Decisions are determinations that another jurisdiction provides an adequate level of data protection.
SCCs are pre-approved contract templates for data transfers.
