For instance, we use automated decisions when you apply to certain Services or to carry out anti-fraud checks. We have implemented measures to safeguard the rights and interests of individuals whose Personal Information is subject to automated decision-making. In addition, if you are using our Services in the EEA, when we make an automated decision about you, you have the right to contest the decision, to express your point of view, and to require a human review of the decision.
