Legacy transfer followup
The public DPA still reproduces the12-clause international transfer text referring to Directive95/46/EC. European Commission Q22 says prior SCCs ceased to be a valid transfer basis after27December2022. This is a public-document maintenance concern requiring current executed transfer safeguards; it does not establish an actual unlawful transfer, breach or regulatory finding.
