  • information you give us when you request a product or service from us. This information may include, for example, your name, address, and contact details;

  • communications between us and you; and
  • transactional information about your use of a product we have provided to you.

Personal information that is received by us is afforded appropriate privacy protection, even when we have not solicited the personal information.

Cookies are pieces of information that may be transferred to your computer's hard disk when you visit a website for record keeping purposes. Most web browsers accept cookies. However, if you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your web browser to refuse cookies. We use cookies to provide us with aggregate (anonymous) information on how people use our website and to help us know what our customers find interesting and useful in our website. We do not link this information back to other information that you have provided to us. We do not store any personal information inside cookies.

  • internet provider (IP) address;
  • date and time of your visit;
  • pages accessed; and
  • the documents downloaded.

 

4. Using and Disclosing your Personal Information

The purposes for which we collect and hold personal information and how we use it. We respect your privacy. Any personal information which we collect about you will generally be used by us to assess an application by you for products or services which we may provide and, if that application is successful, to provide those products and services to you. We may also use your personal information (and disclose it to our related companies) to provide you with information about other products and services offered or distributed by us or our related companies.

Contracting out-services and disclosures

We contract out some of our functions to external service providers. We may disclose your personal information to those service providers but only so that they can provide the services that we have contracted out to them. We may disclose personal information to overseas recipients located in Japan for the purpose of gaining credit approval.

 

5. Access to Personal Information

In most cases, you can gain access to personal information that we hold about you. We will handle requests for access to your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

We will deal with all requests for access to personal information as quickly as possible. Requests for a large amount of information, or information which is not currently in use, may require further time before a response can be given. In some cases, consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, we may refuse to give you access to personal information we hold about you. This includes circumstances where giving you access: 

  • would have an unreasonable impact on other people's privacy;
  • would prejudice negotiations we are having with you;
  • would prejudice an investigation of unlawful activity; or
  • would prejudice activities carried out by, or for, a law enforcement agency. 

If we refuse to give you access we will provide you with reasons for our refusal. Generally, if you request us to do so, we will amend any personal information about you held by us which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. If we disagree with you about the accuracy, completeness or currency of a record of your personal information held by us, we will take reasonable steps to associate with that record a statement to the effect that you claim this to be the case, if you request us to do so.
