A company uses automated profiling to screen job applicants and never explains the logic involved or available safeguards. What transparency expectation applies?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If a machine is deciding whether your résumé makes the cut, you deserve more than a shrug. Explain in plain terms how the screening works and what you can do about it—challenge, human review, that sort of thing. Mystery-meat hiring bots fail the transparency test.
Full Explanation
Where automated decision-making and profiling are used, GDPR transparency duties—including elements linked to Articles 13–15 and Article 22 safeguards—require meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences for the data subject. Controllers should also ensure appropriate safeguards such as human intervention where Article 22 applies. Silence about logic and rights is not compliant.
