Can a decision with legal effects be made solely on the basis of automated processing?
The rules strictly prohibit making highly significant decisions about individuals based purely on unchecked and unmonitored algorithmic logic. Specifically, no decision with actual legal effects concerning a distinct data subject shall be actively made solely on the basis of entirely automated processing. To legally execute such a highly consequential automated decision, the explicit and thoroughly informed consent of the specific data subject is absolutely required by the controller. This powerful protection against pure algorithmic decision-making is established in Section 48 IRR. “b. No decision with legal effects concerning a data subject shall be made solely on the basis of automated processing without the consent of the data subject.” 20-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
