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 27's second sentence bars any decision producing legal effects concerning a person from resting solely on automated processing of their personal data designed to define their profile or evaluate aspects of their personality. Its third sentence excludes a decision taken in concluding or performing a contract on which the person could present observations, and a decision granting the person's own request.

A first sentence in the same article separately bars a court decision on a person's conduct from resting on that kind of processing; that sentence binds courts only and is not part of this right.
