What this law does
Neni 21(1) gives the data subject the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces effects concerning them or similarly affects them. Paragraph 2 lists exceptions under which that right does not apply. Paragraph 4 bars such a decision from resting on special categories of personal data, unless a narrow exception applies with appropriate safeguards for the data subject's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests.
