Requests to Opt-Out of ADMT

What it requires

The section that actually grants the ADMT opt-out right. Subsection (a) requires a business that uses ADMT to make a significant decision about a consumer to provide a way to opt out of that use. Subsection (b) then carves out the cases where no opt-out is owed: where the business offers an appeal to a human reviewer with authority to overturn the decision and the means to exercise it, and where the ADMT is used solely for an admission, acceptance, or hiring assessment, or solely for allocation or assignment of work and compensation, provided it works for the stated purpose and does not unlawfully discriminate. Section 7220 is the notice that must describe this right, and § 7011(e)(2)(F) is the privacy policy disclosure of it. Neither is the grant. Under § 7200(b) the opt-out must be in place no later than January 1, 2027 for ADMT used for a significant decision before that date, and from the outset for any use that begins on or after it.

Regulation text
