The credit report may contain probability values (score values) calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedures, and their calculation includes, among other things, address data. Your legitimate interests are taken into account in accordance with legal provisions. Data processing serves the purpose of credit checking for initiating a contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in protection against payment default when PayPal makes advance payments.
