The GDPR has provisions on automated individual decision-making (making a decision solely by automated means without any human involvement); and profiling (automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain things about an individual). Profiling can be part of an automated decision-making process.

• The GDPR applies to all automated individual decision-making and profiling.
• Article 22 of the GDPR has additional rules to protect individuals if you are carrying out solely automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects on them.
• Website admin must identify whether any of his/her processing falls under Article 22 and, if so, make sure that you:
  • give individuals information about the processing;
  • introduce simple ways for them to request human intervention or challenge a decision;
  • carry out regular checks to make sure that your systems are working as intended.
