Requests to Opt-Out of ADMT
Reference only: This requirement is not currently tested by the Privisy scanner. It is included for reference. Consult a qualified attorney to assess your compliance posture.
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.
Legal text (excerpt)
A business must provide consumers with the ability to opt-out of the use of ADMT to make a significant decision concerning the consumer, except as set forth in subsection (b).
