According to a recent statement by an adviser to the European Court of Justice, the use of automated systems to refuse payments could trigger enforcement of GDPR provisions. The adviser highlighted that such refusals may be considered a form of automated decision-making that affects individuals, thereby falling under the scope of the regulation.
The comment comes amid growing scrutiny of how automated processes impact data subjects’ rights. Companies employing algorithmic payment checks must ensure compliance with GDPR’s transparency and fairness requirements, or risk regulatory action.
