Automated credit assessment / scoring

If you wish to conclude a contract with us, we reserve the right to carry out an exclusively automated processing of your personal data in order to check your creditworthiness. We are also entitled to make such an automated decision pursuant to Art. 22 (2) a DSGVO. Whether the contract can be concluded or not depends on the result of the automated credit check. In a credit check, statistical probabilities of default are calculated. The credit report may contain probability values (score values), which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods. A large number of characteristics, such as income, address data, occupation, marital status, and previous payment behavior, are used to determine the customer’s future risk of non-payment. The result is expressed in the form of a payment score. The information thus obtained is the basis for our decision on the establishment, execution or termination of a contractual relationship. If you believe that you have been unjustly excluded from the conclusion of a contract due to the credit check, you are welcome to explain your point of view to us by email. We will then review the automated decision in accordance with Article 22 (3) DSGVO in the specific individual case. In order to be able to carry out the credit check, we may store and process your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

We transfer your data to the following provider(s) based on the contract in question in the following cases:

  • Automatic identity and credit check when selecting the payment method "PayPal".
