What this law does
Article 23 gives a data subject the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects on them.
That right does not apply where the decision is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with the data subject, is authorised by a written law that establishes suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's fundamental rights and interests, or is authorised by the data subject's consent.
