Article 22A Automated processing and significant decisionsF1
For the purposes of Articles 22B and 22C—
a decision is based solely on automated processing if there is no meaningful human involvement in the taking of the decision, and
a decision is a significant decision, in relation to a data subject, if—
it produces a legal effect for the data subject, or
it has a similarly significant effect for the data subject.
When considering whether there is meaningful human involvement in the taking of a decision, a person must consider, among other things, the extent to which the decision is reached by means of profiling.
