Right to Be Informed

The right to know that a system is in operation before it collects data about you or any decision affecting you is made. This includes being told when data about you is being collected, when you are interacting with an automated system rather than a person, when content is AI-generated, and when biometric or emotion-recognition technology is in use. This is the precondition for every other right in this category — you cannot exercise rights you do not know apply to you.
