[EU] Apparently from 20 Nov, pay later apps need to view past purchases and income to function (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I used to always prefer to pay later (with no interest), cuz i heard it would prove schufa score but I just received an email from klarna, how in the future they will need to view all my purchases history to make sure it fits my budget and income.

What the heck? I thought EU was better for privacy. If we don't buy things on credit, we get a bad credit score, and if we do, then we have to sell our data ?

Yeah, true. I mostly used it for 2 things, some form of buyer's protection and this pay later with no interest.
