Article (18) of the UAE PDPL, as in force since 2 January 2022. Its key is uae-pdpl:art-18, and each paragraph and point has its own.

1.

The Data Subject shall have the right to object to any decisions resulting from automated processing, including profiling, particularly those decisions which have legal impact on or adversely affect the Data Subject.

2.

Notwithstanding Paragraph 1 of this Article, the Data Subject may not object to the decisions resulting from automated processing in the following cases:

a.

If the automated processing is agreed upon under the contract made between the Data Subject and the Controller.

b.

If the automated processing is required under other legislations which are applicable in the State.

c.

If the Data Subject gives prior consent to the automated processing as set out in Article (6) of this Decree by Law.

3.

The Controller shall adopt appropriate measures to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the Data Subject's Personal Data in the cases referred to in Paragraph 2 of this article and shall not cause any prejudice to the Data Subject's rights.

4.
