What it requires

  • Do not base a decision producing legal effects or significantly affecting a person solely on automated processing, including profiling, unless it is necessary for a contract with them, authorized by law with adequate safeguards, or based on their explicit consent, and even then give them the right to obtain human intervention, express their view, and contest the decision.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law

What record it asks for

Logging duty

Article 38 gives the data subject the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, with exceptions and safeguards. It states no duty to log, record or document the decision or its basis. The Article carries no scope clause of its own, so no territorial hook is read.

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 38 gives a person the right not to have a decision applied to them that is made solely on automated processing, including profiling, if that decision produces legal effects or significantly affects their position. That right does not apply where the decision is necessary for concluding or performing a contract with the person, is based on a law that prescribes adequate safeguards for the person's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or rests on the person's explicit consent.
