    Sure, it’s totally OK that a business like SchuFa has your data and if you happen to have a business it’s totally ok for them to blackmail you. It’s also totally ok that they don’t notify you if any business reports something negative to them about you. Schufa is totally ok and not shitty and predatory at all. If they could they would bill you even for the now free yearly score request.

      Again, it’s a business. Not a person.

      Have you ever heard about the concept of a Handelsregister? Every business with address, owner, and financial statements is publicly available. For a person that would be atrocious, for a business, it’s standard practice.

      Seriously, do you really think a business and a person are the same?

        No I do not. A company can tell Schufa something bad about any private person. Without their knowledge.

          I read it. And I still don’t see how wanting accountability from a business is that bad. Businesses have no data protection for a reason. You can’t shame a business into suicide or blackmail it. So what exactly has a business to hide?
