Global Data Alliance Statement on ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses

SINGAPORE – January 26, 2021 – The Global Data Alliance congratulates ASEAN Member States and commends ASEAN’s efforts in developing the ASEAN Model Contractual Clauses (MCCs) as a voluntary data transfer mechanism. The MCCs provide useful guidance on important data protection aspects for companies to consider when drafting contractual terms and conditions surrounding the transfer of personal data.

Cross-border data transfers power innovation and growth across all sectors of the economy—from manufacturing and farming to local start-ups and modern service providers. These data flows are vitally important in modern trade and commerce.

The Global Data Alliance supports ASEAN’s continued efforts to promote an internationally interoperable approach to data transfers that will complement other data transfer mechanisms in use by enterprises throughout the region. Such efforts will support the growth of ASEAN’s burgeoning digital economy and drive productivity gains by facilitating cross-border data flows while protecting security and privacy.
