This complaint concerns structural practices of private credit scoring systems operating within the European Union.
Credit scoring systems exercise significant influence on access to housing, credit, telecommunications and other economic activities.
However individuals often lack transparency regarding:
- which personal data are processed
- which entities receive the data
- how scoring methodologies operate
- who economically benefits from the processing
The complaint raises questions under Articles 5, 12, 15 and 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation as well as Articles 7, 8 and 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The matter concerns structural issues of Union law rather than isolated national incidents.
