BAM uses automated decision-making, including profiling, to make decisions. If decisions have a negative outcome for the individual, BAM will not base decisions solely on the results provided by automated decisions tool, unless:

  2. the decision is made by BAM for the purposes of entering into, managing or performing a contract with the individual; or 
  3. the individual has given his /her explicit consent. 

If the decision-making requires the processing of sensitive personal data, BAM will not base decisions solely on automated decision making tools or profiling.  

In the cases referred to in 2 and 3 of this paragraph, BAM will take suitable measures to safeguard the legitimate interests of the individual, e.g. by providing the individual with an opportunity to express their point of view and follow-up on adjustments for any justified objections raised by the individual.

BAM will only keep your personal data as long as is necessary to complete the purposes for which your data is collected, to protect the legitimate interests of BAM and as long as we are legally obliged to do so.
