Today, noyb has filed a complaint and report against the German credit agency SCHUFA with the Hessian data protection authority. The company appears to be making millions of euros by selling people in Germany their own data. With the help of manipulative designs, people are prevented from obtaining a free copy of their data in accordance with Article 15 GDPR – even though they would actually be legally entitled to it. The company’s primary aim appears to be to profit from people looking for accommodation. In Germany, they often have to provide proof of solvency in order to obtain a lease.

    Gefällt mir wie die Schufa in letzter Zeit auf den Deckel bekommt. Längst überfällig!

      So viel auf die Fresse wie die verdient haben, können sie in 100 Jahren nicht von ihren “Kunden” zurückscammen.
