If you do not provide the information sought we may be unable to process your application, or the company’s application, or we may be limited in the other services we can offer you or the company.
Your information – Collection and Disclosure
When we collect information from you in the credit or guarantor application process, we use that information in a number of ways to assess your application and, where appropriate, to source a suitable credit provider or lessor and/or insurance provider. We may, as appropriate:
Disclose your identification information to a consumer credit reporting service (‘Consumer CRS) and/or a commercial credit reporting service (‘Commercial CRS’), if you wish us to obtain a report on your behalf;

Credit Providers
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 are acting as agent 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 set out in the Schedule 1 at the end of this document.
A credit provider, to whom we submit an application, may disclose information about you to, and collect information about you from, one or more Consumer CRS or Commercial CRS.
The website of each credit provider contains details of each Consumer CRS and Commercial CRS with which it deals and other details about information held about you, including whether that information may be held or disclosed overseas and, if so, in which countries. The websites also describe your key rights. These details may be described on the credit providers’ websites as ‘notifiable matters’, ‘privacy policy’, ‘credit reporting policy’ or ‘privacy disclosure statement and consent’, or similar.
For each Consumer CRS a credit provider uses the website details will include the following specific information:
That the CRS may include information the credit provider discloses about you to other credit providers to assess your credit worthiness.
That, if you become overdue in making consumer credit payments or you commit a serious credit infringement, the credit provider may disclose that information to the Service.
How you can obtain the credit provider’s and/or the Service’s policies about managing your information.
Your right to access and/or correct information held about you and to complain about conduct that may breach the privacy and credit reporting laws.
Your right to request a CRS not to undertake pre-screening for purposes of direct marketing by a credit provider.
Your right to request a CRS not to release information about you if you believe you are a victim of fraud.
This detail will also be included by the credit provider who approves your application in the privacy disclosure statement and consent document it will provide to you.
Each credit provider website includes information on how to contact it and how to obtain a copy of its privacy documents in a form that suits you (e.g. hardcopy or email).
