As part of providing our services to you, we may undertake tasks for a credit
provider which are reasonably necessary to manage the application process.
When doing so, we act as an intermediary for the credit provider, with the same
privacy law requirements applying to both of us.
We may submit your application to one or more credit providers. Those credit
providers and their website addresses are listed in the Schedule of Credit
Providers below.
A credit provider to whom we submit an application may disclose information
about you to, and collect information about you from, one or more CRBs.
Each credit provider’s website contains details of the CRBs with which it deals,
the information held about you, and your key rights. This information may be
described as ‘notifiable matters’, ‘privacy policy’, ‘credit reporting policy’
or ‘privacy disclosure statement and consent’, and includes:
-
That the CRB may include information the credit provider discloses about you
to other credit providers to assess your creditworthiness.
-
That if you become overdue in making consumer credit payments or commit a
serious credit infringement, the credit provider may disclose that information
to a CRB.
-
How you can obtain the credit provider’s and/or CRB’s policies about managing
your credit information.
-
Your right to access and/or correct information held about you and to complain
about conduct that may breach privacy and credit reporting laws.
-
Your right to request a CRB not to undertake pre-screening for direct marketing
by a credit provider.
-
Your right to request a CRB not to release information about you if you believe
you are a victim of fraud.
This information will also be included by the credit provider that approves your
application in the privacy disclosure statement and consent document it provides
to you.
Each credit provider website includes information on how to contact the provider
and obtain a copy of its privacy documents in a form that suits you, such as
hardcopy or email.
