Automated credit assissment / scoring

If you wish to conclude a contract with us, we reserve the right to carry out exclusively automated processing of your personal data in order to check your creditworthiness. We are also entitled to make such an automated decision according to Article 22 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR. Whether the contract can be concluded or not depends on the result of the automated credit check. In a credit check, statistical probabilities of a payment default are calculated. The creditworthiness information may contain probability values (score values) which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedures. In this process, the customer’s future risk of non-payment is inferred by means of a large number of characteristics, such as income, address data, occupation, marital status and previous payment behaviour. The result is expressed in the form of a payment value (so-called score). The information obtained in this way forms the basis of our decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of a contractual relationship. If you consider that you have been wrongly excluded from the conclusion of a contract on the basis of the credit assessment, you are welcome to explain your point of view to us by e-mail. We will then review the automated decision in accordance with Article 22 para. 3 of the GDPR in the specific individual case. In order to be able to carry out the credit check, we may store and process your personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Due to the forthcoming contract, we will transmit your data to the following provider(s) in the cases listed below:

Pursuant to section 882e of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), entries in the debtors’ register are deleted on a daily basis after three years have elapsed since the date of the entry order.

Therefore, the usual level of protection for the GDPR cannot be guaranteed for the transfer, as it cannot be ruled out that in the third country, e.g. authorities can access the collected data.

    The legal basis for the transmission of personal data is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, which you have provided on our website.

    Based on specific characteristics and an analysis of the website behaviour, the service recognizes whether the input made is automated by means of a program (so-called bot) or a human being. The service has three different levels. Either the service automatically recognizes that the input is not automated by a bot or it lets the user select a captcha checkbox. A third option is the display of small image or voice tasks / text tasks that must be solved by the site visitor. Google reCaptcha is a captcha service used on our website for security reasons to exclude bots (robot programs) from interacting on our website. Google reCaptcha verifies on our behalf that only humans and not bots can use our website. In particular, this enables us to protect the special functions of our website (e.g. contact forms or other input options such as the login area) from improper access.

    For processing itself, the service or we collect the following data: user behaviour (e.g. mouse gestures or input behaviour), IP address, browser data, computer information.

    If you wish to use the Google reCaptcha protected input options of our website, you have to allow the use of Google reCaptcha and, if necessary, solve corresponding captchas. Unless you fill in the captcha or allow the use of Google reCaptcha, you will not be able to use the form protected by the captcha. Alternatively, you can always use our other contact options (e.g. post or email).

    You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can find more information about withdrawing your consent either with the consent itself or at the end of this privacy policy.
