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 25 bars an administrative or private decision that assesses a person's behavior or personality from resting solely on automated processing of their personal data. A parallel first sentence restricts a court decision the same way, but that clause binds only courts and carries no 'solely' qualifier.
