The credit report can contain probability values ​​(score values), which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods and which, among other things, include address data.

This processing takes place on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR.

By logging in, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. Here, among other things, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the “Shariff” function.
