Personal information
Throughout this Policy we refer to your personal information, which includes information that identifies you. Examples of personal information we may collect include: names, addresses, contact details, employment and income details and credit-related personal information.

We only collect personal information that is necessary for the proper conduct of our business. For example, we may collect your contact details for our records and your income and employment details to assess your credit eligibility.
Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your personal information directly from you. However, in some circumstances we may seek and be provided with information by third parties including trade referees and other credit
providers. In these circumstances we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.

Overseas disclosure
