NAME
     gdpr-article-22 - GDPR Article 22 and the UK's Articles 22A to
     22D

SYNOPSIS
     People have rights when a decision about them is made solely
     by a machine and it affects them significantly.

DESCRIPTION
     GDPR Article 22 gives a person the right not to be subject to
     a decision based solely on automated processing which produces
     legal effects on them or similarly significantly affects them,
     except in set cases such as contract, law or explicit consent.

     Where such a decision is allowed, the person must have
     safeguards: at least the right to obtain human intervention,
     to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

     In the UK, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 replaced Article
     22 with Articles 22A to 22D. The safeguards remain:
     information about the decision, the chance to make
     representations, human intervention and the ability to
     contest.

     Every one of those safeguards depends on a record of what the
     system decided and why, fixed at the time. Without it,
     contesting a decision is guesswork on both sides.

EXERCISE
     Name the three safeguards. Answer: human intervention,
     expressing a view, contesting the decision.
