What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A person carrying on an enterprise who uses personal information to render a decision based exclusively on automated processing of that information must inform the person concerned of that fact no later than when the decision itself is communicated.
On request, the enterprise must also disclose the personal information used to render the decision, the reasons and the principal factors and parameters that led to it, and the person's right to have that personal information corrected, and must give the person an opportunity to submit observations to a staff member able to review the decision. This right was newly created by Law 25 and did not exist in the Act before September 22, 2023.
