Abstract

The growing control of human life from automated decisions is notorious. They are present in choosing the ideal candidate for the job, the cost of the drug to be purchased by the consumer and even the possible credit to be granted by the bank. These basic examples have a major impact on citizens' lives, but they lack transparency as to their functioning, ie the criteria used to make these decisions. This lack of transparency, also called opacity of algorithms, leads to abusive and discriminatory practices. Therefore, in order to mitigate such effects, laws on the protection of personal data sought to ensure the right to transparency and non-subjection to automated decisions. This article broadly addresses what would be the right to review automated decisions and how it is dealt with by the General Data Protection Act (Law No. 13709/2018), based on the amendment promoted by Provisional Measure 869/2018 sanctioned on 07/09/2019.
