What this law does
Article 13 gives every person the right not to be subject to a decision that affects their legal situation or affects it in a meaningful way, based solely on automated data processing that assesses aspects of their personality such as their professional capacity, credit, trustworthiness or behavior.
Paragraph 2 allows such a decision where it is taken in connection with entering into or performing a contract, on condition that the person's own request for the contract has been met or appropriate measures safeguard their legitimate interests, in particular their right of representation and expression, or where a law authorizing it establishes measures guaranteeing their legitimate rights and interests.
