Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Article 13 bars a decision producing legal effects for a natural person from resting solely on automated processing intended to define the person's profile or evaluate aspects of their personality. A parallel first sentence restricts a court decision the same way, but that clause binds only courts. The prohibition does not apply to a decision made in concluding or performing a contract on which the person had a chance to comment, or to a decision that grants the person's own request.
