A model agreement for this is made available by the European Commission. In addition, one can also opt to adopt binding corporate rules. Also, Article 49 of the GDPR allows for recourse to certain statutory exemptions.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yet these options are not foolproof. Before the adoption of the new Privacy Shield between the EU and the US, these articles used the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). In the aftermath of Schrems II, it became clear that these SCCs were not sufficient and U.S. intelligence agencies could use European data without restrictions. Article 49 may have statutory fallback bases for incidental transfers, such as the explicit consent of the data subject, but they were not useful here.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Complexities and Limitations in Taking Additional Measures.<\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">However, guidance from regulators, including EDPB Recommendation 01\/2020, explains that it is the responsibility of controllers to analyze their specific transfers, take additional measures if necessary, or stop transfers if such measures are impossible.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Reality has shown more than once that there are no technical measures that could help in a cloud or SaaS setting, and that can include web hosting.
