Our Privacy Policy also contains information about how you can access and seek correction of the personal information held by us, how you can make a complaint to us about a breach of any applicable privacy laws, and how we will respond to and deal with such a complaint.
Consent to Collect Personal Information
You hereby acknowledge, agree to and otherwise authorise the following:
- We may collect, use and disclose personal information about you for the purposes specified in our Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of providing you with credit, for identity verification purposes, for direct marketing of our products and services, and to enhance the products and services offered by us or any of our associates.
- The information provided by you will be held by us for the purposes for which it was collected.
- You can request access to and correction of the information held about you by contacting us on 03 670 329.
- You have the right to request not to receive direct marketing material by advising us at any time.
- We will follow any relevant privacy breach notification obligations under the Privacy Act.
- If you do not provide personal information, we may be unable to provide a loan or may otherwise be limited in the products or services we are able to provide to you.
We may be required to collect, use and disclose personal information in order to comply with the:
- Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth); and
- Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (NZ), (each, the AML Act).
You hereby acknowledge the above, and authorise us to collect, use and disclose your information for the purpose of complying with the applicable AML Act.
You consent that we (including any of our overseas associates on our behalf) can do any of the following at any time:
- Credit information: Seek and use personal credit information about you to assess an application for credit.
- Landlord information: Seek and use landlord information and rental confirmation from your current landlord.
- Obtain a credit report from credit reporting bodies: Seek and use a credit report about you provided by a credit-reporting agency for the purpose of assessing your application.
- Provide information to credit reporting bodies: Give to a credit reporting body personal or commercial information about you. The information may include identity particulars; the fact that credit has been applied for and the amount; the fact that we are a current credit provider to you; advice that payments are no longer overdue; advice that cheques drawn by you have been dishonoured more than once; in specified circumstances that in our opinion you have committed a serious credit infringement; and the credit provided to you by us has been paid or otherwise discharged.
- Disclose personal information: Disclose personal information about you as required by law, or to organisations involved in providing credit to you, any of our associates or contractors, or people considering acquiring or taking an interest in our business or assets. This includes disclosing personal information about you to the third party technology providers that we use to process your application for a loan, some of whom are based overseas (including in the United States of America).
- Bank Statements and third party account aggregation service provider: By obtaining from you access to your internet banking, our third party service provider will access your personal information for the purpose of providing your bank account information to us. We may obtain the last six months bank transactions on the date you apply for a loan, in addition to further ongoing bank transactions for the term of the loan, for the purpose of assessing any future loan application. We note that your bank’s terms may prohibit you from sharing your login, so you agree to appoint our third party service provider as your agent to access your internet banking on your behalf solely for this purpose and you consent to our ongoing access to this information for the term of the loan and the purposes outlined above.
- Customer identification: Disclose personal information about you to a credit reporting agency for the purpose of verifying your identity against the information held on your credit file. Should you not agree to have your identity verified by these means, please contact us so that we can discuss other options with you.
Provide information about your loan: which may include personal information, to any introducer including but not limited to the loan term, balance and repayment history.
