Credit Scoring CRIF is one of the largest credit reference agencies in Austria. It has built up a largely unknown "shadow registry" containing the names, dates of birth and addresses of almost all adults in Austria. CRIF uses this data to assign people a score. For 90% of those affected, this score is based primarily on address, gender and age. Although this data does not allow for any real conclusions to be drawn about a person’s creditworthiness, the CRIF score often determines whether someone is granted a contract with mobile phone providers, electricity suppliers or banks. We are convinced that this unwarranted data collection and the scoring of people for whom no credit-relevant data is available violates the GDPR. noyb is therefore bringing an injunction and a class action for damages.
