Cross-references
- contrast (model-proposed): Automated tools that detect fraud can make decisions about you and may lead to account deactivation — contrast: The Summary Table says Instacart does not use inferences to make legal or other significant decisions. The Canada section says it may use tools that decide about you automatically, including fraud detection that may lead to account deactivation. They pull in different directions: one denies significant decisions from inferences, the other describes automated decisions with a significant account effect. Scope differs (inferences in the table; Canada residents' section).
