Beschrijving

The DPA of Hamburg has imposed a fine of EUR 492,000 on a company in the finance sector. The controller used automated systems to decide whether to approve a credit application, with no human input. This system incorrectly declined applications from applicants with a good credit score. When asked for the reasons for the negative decision, the controller also failed to respond adequately to these information requests.
