Abstract

Automated decision-making systems are increasingly common in a broad range of public and private sector applications. Since many of the decisions made by such systems rely on personal data as input or generate data that can be associated with a natural person, the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD) introduces specific rules on decisions based solely on the automated processing of personal data. This article holds that the regulation of automated decision-making in the LGPD differs from the approaches adopted in other jurisdictions, namely the European Union. Such differences result from how Brazilian legislators established a right to the review of automated decisions and set up the criteria for the adoption of design measures for data protection, creating issues for the direct adoption of technical solutions created for other jurisdictions. Therefore, adequate protection of data subject rights against automated decision-making demands the development of standards and guidelines that reflect the realities of Brazilian law.
