These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
In the frameworks
- NIST AI RMF
- MAP 3.5Processes for human oversight are defined, assessed, and documented in accordance with organizational policies from the GOVERN function.
- NIST Privacy Framework
- CT.DM-P10Stakeholder privacy preferences are included in algorithmic design objectives and outputs are evaluated against these preferences.
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 21 gives the data subject a right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing and, where an exception applies, requires safeguards including human intervention, the chance to state a view and the right to contest. Those are safeguards, and the article names no record of the decision, its logic or the intervention. The impact assessment that Article 35(3)(1) requires for profiling decisions is in the main sibling row. The row imposes no log or record duty.

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.
