Section 9; Rule 13; GDPR comparisonProcessing & Consent
Automated Decision Making (ADM)
Automated decision-making uses systems to reach or support decisions; DPDP does not reproduce GDPR's standalone automated-decision right.
Meaning and legal context
Risk reviews remain useful, and SDF algorithmic due diligence or children's protections may apply. DPDP does not require human approval for every automated decision.
Practical application
Assess decision impact, data quality, oversight and escalation.
