Might be worth to tell the full story, as well: - OpenSCHUFA was initiated by Open Knowledge Foundation Deutschland and Algorithmwatch, two independent and established NGOs. - Algorithmwatch is supported by a foundation/trust called "Bertelsmann Stiftung". - There is also a company called "Bertelsmann", which owns Arvato Infoscore, a competitor to SCHUFA. - The Bertelsmann Stiftung (which is supporting Algorithmwatch which is co-initiator of OpenSCHUFA) owns a majority of shares of the company (that owns Arvator Infoscore, a competitor to SCHUFA), and some people say the foundation and company are tightly tied together. - And last but not least Schufa now places in the press, that this is a big conflict of interest.
