What this law does
Article 29 gives every person the right not to be subject to a decision that produces legal effects on them or significantly affects them, taken solely on automated processing of data intended to evaluate personal aspects of their character, in particular their professional capacity, creditworthiness, trustworthiness or conduct.
Paragraph 2 allows such a decision where it is taken in forming or performing a contract at the data subject's own request and adequate measures safeguard their legitimate interests, including a right of representation and expression. Paragraph 3 also allows it where the Agência de Protecção de Dados has authorized it, defining measures that safeguard the data subject's legitimate interests.
