Quebec's Law 25 grants rights for automated decisions

Enterprises must inform individuals when such decisions are made and, upon request, provide details about the personal information used, the reasons for the decision, and the principal factors involved. This law also mandates that individuals have the right to request corrections and submit observations to a human reviewer capable of altering the decision, distinguishing it from the GDPR's Article 22.
