GDPR Article 22 and Data Subject Rights as Applied in Lithuania
cite Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Arts. 15-22
stage In effect
since 2018-07-16
reviewed 2026-08-24
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Articles 15 to 21 apply directly in Lithuania: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, exercisable against the controller. Article 22 gives a qualified right against a decision based solely on automated processing with legal or similarly significant effect. Neither DLA Piper nor Linklaters reports a Lithuania-specific derogation to these rights beyond the age-of-consent point recorded on the comprehensive-regime instrument.
What it asks of an app

- Provide a meaningful human review before finalizing any decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects for a person in Lithuania, under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 22.
