💡Quick Answer

Implement Article 22 technical safeguards: human-in-the-loop review mechanism for high-impact automated decisions, explainability output (SHAP/LIME), audit trail of each decision, and a data subject interface to contest decisions. Fixed price €2,700–4,500.

📋Why this service exists

Article 22 grants data subjects the right not to be subject to solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. When automated decisions are used (with consent or contract basis), organizations must: provide meaningful information about the logic, enable human review, and allow data subjects to contest decisions.

Frequently asked questions

What does 'meaningful information about the logic' mean in Article 13(2)(f)?
It doesn't require full model disclosure. It means: what data is used, what factors are most important, and roughly how the decision is made. SHAP values provide this in a legally defensible way — 'the top 3 factors in your credit decision were: payment history (35%), debt ratio (25%), account age (15%).'
When is human review sufficient to satisfy Article 22?
Human review must be 'meaningful' — not rubber-stamping. The reviewer must actually have the ability and information to override the automated decision. A checkbox with no additional context does not satisfy Article 22.
