Your real rights against automated decisions

The quiz was a joke. These rules are real. They apply in the European Union, and some of them specifically in France.

  1. Not to be subject to a fully automated decision

    The GDPR (art. 22) gives you the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Where such a decision is allowed, you have at least the right to obtain human intervention, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

    GDPR, Article 22 (EUR-Lex)

  2. To know an algorithm decided, and by which rules (France)

    In France, an individual decision taken by a public body on the basis of algorithmic processing must explicitly say so. On request, the administration must disclose the rules defining that processing and the main features of how it is applied (CRPA, art. L311-3-1).

    Article L311-3-1 CRPA (Légifrance, in French)

  3. Your appeal cannot be decided by the machine alone (France)

    In France, when the administration rules on an administrative appeal, its decision cannot be based solely on automated processing (Data Protection Act, art. 47).

    Article 47, French Data Protection Act (Légifrance, in French)

  4. To access your data

    You can ask any organisation which data it holds about you and get a copy (GDPR, art. 15). Where a decision is automated, it must also give you meaningful information about the logic involved.
