8. Credit checks
Normally our customers and partners are companies. However, from time to time we may need to collect some information about their employees, officers and directors in order to provide our goods and services.
If you apply for credit from us (for example, when you apply to become a customer or partner), we may collect, hold, use and disclose certain information about you, your company's directors or shareholders, and any person who is to guarantee the credit, including:
• name, previous names and aliases, current and previous addresses, driver's licence number, date of birth and employer;
• the fact that you have applied to us for credit and the credit limit sought or approved;
• repayment history, including the amount of any payments due to us which are overdue for at least sixty days, and when steps have been taken by us to recover those overdue payments;
• where an overdue payment has been previously reported, advice that the payment is no longer overdue;
• default information, including cheques or credit card payments which have been dishonoured;
• court judgments or bankruptcy orders made against you;
• if, in our opinion, you have committed a serious credit infringement;
• when we cease to provide products or services to you;
• information about your credit worthiness and activities in Australia that we can obtain from publicly available sources; and
• other credit information that we are able to derive from the above information.
We may collect this information from, or disclose it to, credit reporting bodies (CRBs). When applying for credit, you authorise us to share such information with CRBs for the purposes of:
• establishing or confirm your identity;
• seeking credit reports (including consumer credit reports);
• assessing your credit worthiness;
• processing your credit applications; and
• managing any credit you have with us (including to collect debts, enforce any credit agreement and enforce any guarantee).
We may also disclose this information:
• to debt collection agencies; and
• to any person as reasonably necessary for the purposes of that person taking an assignment of your debt.
The CRB we primarily use is Equifax Australia InformationServices and Solutions Pty Limited, whose privacy policy and contact details are set out at www.equifax.com.au/privacy. Equifax's privacy policy will govern its use, collection, disclosure and management of your personal information (including credit information).
You can ask a CRB not to use or disclose credit information it holds about you for a period of 21 days (called a 'ban period') without your consent if you believe on reasonable grounds that you have been or are likely to be a victim of fraud, including identity fraud. You agree to us accessing your personal information (including credit-related information) held with a CRB, even if there is a ban period in place, for the purposes of assessing an application for credit or to collect overdue payments.
By law, CRBs may use the credit-related personal information they hold to respond to requests from us or other credit providers to 'pre-screen' you for direct marketing. You can ask a CRB not to do this.
Our collection, handling, use and disclosure of credit-related information is subject to the Privacy (Credit Reporting) Code 2014 (CR Code) as in force from time to time.
9. Accessing and correcting your personal information
You may contact our Privacy Officer (see section 13)to request access to the personal information that we hold about you and/or to make corrections to that information, at any time. On the rare occasions when we refuse access, we will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing access. We may seek to recover from you reasonable costs incurred for providing you with access to the personal information we hold about you.
We are not obliged to correct any of your personal information if we do not agree that it requires correction and may refuse to do so. If we refuse a correction request, we will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing.
We will respond to all requests for access to or correction of personal information within a reasonable time.
10. Overseas transfers of personal information
Some of the third parties to whom we disclose certain personal information (but not credit-related information) maybe located outside Australia. The countries in which such third party recipients are located depend on the circumstances. In the ordinary course of business we commonly disclose personal information to recipients located in the United States.
We may also engage overseas recipients to provide services to us, such as cloud-based storage solutions. The use of overseas service providers to store personal information will not always involve a disclosure of personal information to that overseas provider.
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 AustralianPrivacy Principles, that entity will not be bound by, and you will not be able to seek redress under, the Privacy Act.
11. Employees
We collect personal information relating to prospective employees from third parties, such as recruitment agencies, previous employers and referees, in addition to information provided by the applicant. This may include contact details, qualifications, education history, employment history and feedback from past supervisors and referees. We may use this information to assess the application and consider making a job offer.
We collect personal information in relation to new and current employees during the course of their employment. In addition to information collected about prospective employees, we may collect:
• date of birth;
• gender;
• identification information, including copies of identity documents;
• tax file number;
