Summary
This is justified by the millionfold violation of the right of access according to Article 15 GDPR. The civil rights and transparency organization had launched a petition and provided those affected with a form with which more than 22,000 people have already requested information about their archived data. Since the Schufa data sets lead to virtually all 68 to 69 million adults in Germany, even a small compensation amount per capita could lead to total demands in astronomical amounts.
Furthermore, We will defend the storage of historical data in court – even if we go back to the Federal Court of Justice. However, the data protectors from Vienna receive protection from the German NGO AlgorithmWatch. The processing of historical data complies with legal and regulatory requirements, said a Schufa spokesman. If the data protectors get right in court, this could have massive financial consequences for the credit agency.
In addition, This involves information about old loans, seizures or even private insolvencies - claims and debts that affected persons would often have paid years ago. NOYB has already called on those affected to register on a list of interested parties.
