The consultation record
The ICO opened its consultation on draft automated decision-making and profiling guidance on 31 March 2026, closing it on 29 May. The update responds to the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and is aimed particularly at data-protection, compliance and technical leads overseeing ADM systems. [1]
Read as a historical document
A consultation draft should not be represented as the final guidance. The source remains useful for understanding what the regulator consulted on and the questions it asked. The current guidance roadmap is the place to check subsequent publication plans. [1]
ADM perspective
An archive should preserve the distinction between what was proposed and what was adopted. That is why this page retains its original source date and a clear closed-consultation label.
