The Credit Reporting Policy applies to entities in the Capital Prudential group that collect or manage credit related personal information, including Capital Prudential Manager Pty Ltd.
Your privacy is important to us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and we want to ensure that you have a clear understanding about the information we collect about you, how we use it and who we share it with.
This Policy applies to personal information collected in the course of our business, including when we provide you with services and products and when you use our website. It sets out how we collect personal information about you, how we use it and how we keep it secure.
We may change this Policy by publishing changes to it on our website. Please check our website regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes to this Policy.
The personal information we may collect about you can include:
We may also collect sensitive information about you if required to provide you with certain products or services. We only collect sensitive information about you with your consent, or otherwise in accordance with the Privacy Act.
You may refuse to provide us with your tax file number. However, if you do not provide us with your tax file number, there may be financial consequences, and we may not be able to provide you with products or services.
If we are providing you with credit, entities in the Capital Prudential group may collect credit-related person information about you. The credit-related personal information these entities may collect about you can include:
We will collect and hold your personal information in a fair and lawful manner, and not in an intrusive way. Where it is reasonably practical to do so, we will collect your personal information directly from you. We may collect the personal information you directly give us through some of the following means:
In certain cases, we may collect personal information from publicly available sources and third parties such as our related entities, suppliers and service providers in connection with providing our products and services, your advisers, banks, financial institutions and other financial product providers, credit reporting bodies, professional advisers and other public sources.
If we collect personal information about you from a third party we will, where appropriate, request that the third party inform you that we are holding such information, how we will use and disclose it, and that you may contact us to gain access to and correct and update the information.
We may collect credit-related personal information from you directly when you:
We may also collect credit-related personal information from a range of sources including:
We collect, hold and use your personal information to:
We will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purpose unless you have consented to that use or disclosure, or the relevant use or disclosure is otherwise permitted by the APPs or some other law. We will not use your tax file number to confirm your identity or to connect your personal information unless it is permitted by an applicable law.
We may share your personal information with our related entities or to third parties, such as our suppliers and service providers, payment systems operators, banks or other financial institutions, professional advisers, government agencies, regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies. In the event that we sell part or all of our business, we may disclose your personal information to the new operator of that business.
Where your personal information is disclosed to a third party, that organisation will have its own privacy policy outlining the manner in which it handles personal information.
We collect, hold and use your credit-related personal information to:
and otherwise where pemitted by the Privacy Act, including to provide you with ongoing services as relevant.
The AML Act places a number of obligations on us to ensure that we are appropriately managing certain risks. Where we have obligations to collect, retain, use or disclose information under the AML Act, those may override any requirements under the APPs.
We are required to verify your identity under the AML Act before providing you with certain products and services. If we are assessing your credit worthiness, we may also undertake a credit check when verifying your identity. In order to verify your identity electronically, we will ask for the following personal information:
We may ask for additional information if we are also assessing your credit worthiness. You acknowledge that your personal information may be passed on to external organisations including government agencies and credit reporting bodies (CRBs) in order to facilitate the identity verification process. Your personal information may be disclosed to our agents who assist with the electronic identity verification process. The CRB or our agents will then confirm whether the personal information provided to them to verify your identity is a full or partial match with information held on the relevant credit information files.
Where we do engage with CRBs as part of verifying your identity, we do so in the manner permitted by section 35A of the AML Act. The use of your personal information solely for electronic identity verification does not constitute a credit check or impact your credit standing. However, where we are also assessing your credit worthiness, electronic identity verification may be undertaken alongside a credit check and may impact your credit standing.
Your details will also be submitted to the Australian Government’s Documents Verification Service (DVS). The DVS is a national online system that allows organisations to compare an individual’s identifying information with a government record. More information about the DVS is available on their website.
You do not have to agree to electronic verification. You can choose for your identity to be verified in person, please just let us know if that is your preference.
We may use personal information to conduct monitoring activities as required by the AML Act, and we may disclose personal information to AUSTRAC where the AML Act requires or authorises us to do so.
From time to time, we may provide you with information about new products, services and promotions either from us, or from third parties which may be of interest to you. Provided that you have not unsubscribed or otherwise opted out, we may use your information for direct marketing:
We may utilise the services of third parties to assist us with undertaking our direct marketing activities. We will not otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.
You may opt out at any time if you no longer wish to receive commercial messages from us. You can make this request by contacting our Privacy Officer.
Note that if you opt-out of direct marketing messages from us, we may still communicate with you from time to time for other purposes, including where we:
We do not currently use your credit-related personal information for the purpose of undertaking direct marketing.
If we propose to undertake direct marketing using credit-related personal information in the future, we will only do so in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act. If you have previously specified that you no longer wish to receive commercial messages from us, then we will not send you direct marketing in the future (including using your credit-related personal information).
We hold your personal information, including credit-related personal information, in electronic form or in a hard copy format.
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure and we use a number of physical, administrative, personnel and technical measures to protect your personal information.
To protect your personal information, we may:
However, we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
We may use computer programs in our business to assist us to make decisions about you, including for verification purposes. The kinds of personal information we may use include your name, address, email address, date of birth and phone number.
At this time, we do not use computer programs to fully automate decisions.
We may use computer programs to directly assist us to cross-checking identity documents provided by potential new investors against databases. However, these programs will not be used to substantially and directly assist us to make a decision about your identity and are not expected to significantly affect your rights or interests.
We share (disclose) personal information outside of Australia to service providers located outside of Australia, including the USA and UK. We may also share your credit-related personal information outside of Australia to the USA and UK.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient will deal with such personal information in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
As at the date of this Policy, we are not likely to disclose personal information to other overseas recipients. If in future we do propose to disclose personal information overseas, we will do so in compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act. We will, where practicable, advise you of the countries in which any overseas recipients are likely to be located.
By providing your personal information to us, you consent to us disclosing your personal information to any such overseas recipients for purposes necessary or useful in the course of operating our business, and agree that APP 8.1 will not apply to such disclosures. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an overseas recipient breaches the APPs, that entity will not be bound by, and you will not be able to seek redress under, the Privacy Act.
If you do not want us to disclose your information to overseas recipients, please let us know.
We collect personal information about you when you use and access our website.
While we do not use browsing information to identify you personally, we may record certain information about your use of our website, such as which pages you visit, the time and date of your visit and the internet protocol address assigned to your computer.
We may also use 'cookies' or other similar tracking technologies on our website that help us track your website usage and remember your preferences.
