we, the OKFDE, have no partnership with Bertelsmann our partner, algorithmwatch, has - independently from this project - funding from Bertelsmann Stiftung
again the data is first delivered only to the user, afterwards he/she can decide what to do
glad we agree that the issue is important
As stated before, we are not only asking for SCHUFA but also arvato data, see blogpost https://okfn.de/blog/2018/02/openschufa-english/#update
http://openschufa.de will be place for updates will take a couple of weeks, project will run for months to come
You are welcome!
We are trying to convince them.
Here are the live stats from the requests https://selbstauskunft.net/statistiken
Skewed demographics are on the radar (we know we are in bubble). EU regulation 2016/679 GDPR with May 25th is also on the radar.

wrt algo - afaik the biggest credit rating agency in Germany is "just" using a logistic regression. details will follow.
The data and credit scores are sent from the credit score agencies to each person directly (via snail-mail). After that they can decide to upload their "anonymized" data or not. In order to develop a privacy focused uploading process we started the crowdfunding campaign.
see this information https://www.settle-in-berlin.com/what-is-schufa/
btw. we are requestion infoscore aka Bertelsmann - data see stats https://okfn.de/blog/2018/02/openschufa-english/#update
1. date is not open yet, first people have to request the data (will take probalby 4-6 weeks until they get the credit scores)
2. see below https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16391885
just raw images would cause major privacy & data protection issues
a. is disclosed by our partner algorithmwatch b. the funding is not for this project c. see https://twitter.com/OpenSchufa/status/964408780162150400 "Die SCHUFA ist die bekannteste Auskunftei & Marktführer; wir fordern in unserer Projektbeschreibung u.a.: "Die SCHUFA & andere Auskunfteien müssen öffentlich & permanent darlegen, wie ihr Score funktioniert bzw. welche Modelle/Annahmen ihm zu Grunde liegen (Nachvollziehbarkeit)" d. read https://okfn.de/blog/2018/02/openschufa-english/#update (we already requesting infoscore Consumer Data GmbH data)
FYI in case you speak German, this project is currently all over the news in Germany, causing quite a stir.

unfortunately not, I haven't used any time tracking software so far - just wanted to point out that the focus of archify is currently not time-tracking
yes, euro-style . vs ,
hi aangjie6,
archify is about finding your personal information, the analysis is a byproduct
for just time tracking, especially desktop applications i recommend you continue using rescuetime
