Data (Use and Access) Act 2025: new rules on automated decision-making

The UK GDPR's rules on automated decisions changed. The general prohibition now applies only to significant decisions based entirely or partly on special category data. For other significant automated decisions using personal data, safeguards apply, such as telling people and letting them contest the decision. Organisations must also be able to handle data protection complaints directly, from 19 June 2026.
