According to the GDPR, individuals have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects them. However, there are exceptions to this right, one of which is when the decision is based on the data subject ' s explicit consent. This means that if an individual explicitly consents to the automated decision-making process, there is no requirement for human intervention to confirm or replace the decision. This exception ensures that individuals can have control over automated decisions that affect them, provided they have given clear and informed consent.
