Automated Individual Decision
An automated individual decision is a decision that is a direct result of the automated processing of a data subject’s personal information. Article 22 of the GDPR allows individuals the right to object to such decisions. There are three exceptions to this rule:
– These decisions are essential for the entry or execution of a contract between the data subject and controller
– These decisions are authorized by a Union or Member State law which applies to the controller and has measures in place to protect the rights of the data subject
– These decisions are based on the explicit consent of the data subject
