Assumption – We are building a website/ wiki that can stand on its own within CustomerCommons.org (and a Kantara site should Kantara agree) as guidance to individuals, and also act as a reference that others can build on. Our objective is it maximize the positive impact of GDPR for individuals.

8) Rights related to automated decision making and profiling
What this means (guidance for organisations):
The GDPR provides safeguards for individuals against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken without human intervention. These rights work in a similar way to existing rights under the DPA.
Identify whether any of your processing operations constitute automated decision making and consider whether you need to update your procedures to deal with the requirements of the GDPR.
