WHAT KINDS OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND HOLD?
When you apply for, register your interest in, or enquire about a product or service, we collect information that is reasonably necessary to be able to provide you with those products or services. CapitalSkye may collect and hold personal information such as identifying information to enable us to verify your identity including your name, title, date of birth, current and previous addresses, postal or email address and/or telephones numbers.

WHY DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The main reason we collect, use, hold and disclose personal information is so we can provide you with products and services (including where applicable, third party products and services). This may include:

considering your requests for products, services and other benefits;
checking your eligibility for the product or service;
helping you manage the product or service;
assisting you where online applications are not completed; and
helping us develop insights and conduct data analysis to improve the delivery of products and services, enhance our client relationships and effectively manage risks.

HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We collect personal information directly from you before, during or after the provision of products and services to you and when you inform us of any change to the information, we hold about you.

We also collect your personal information from others including:

credit reporting bodies, brokers, introducers, public registers, and as required by laws or with your specific consent in managing our business; and
organisations with whom we have an alliance or agreement for the purpose of promoting our respective products or services and agents used by us and our business partners in administering such an alliance or agreement.

MANAGING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We take all reasonable steps to ensure that all your personal information (including credit information and credit eligibility information) held on our systems, website or otherwise, is protected from:

    • misuse, interference and loss: and
    • unauthorised access, disclosure or modification

We use a range of physical, electronic and other security measures to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the personal information we hold both in Australia and overseas.

WHO CAN WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO?
The Privacy Act allows CapitalSkye to disclose personal information about you when related to the primary purpose for which it was collected. Sometimes we may disclose your personal information to organisations outside CapitalSkye who help us deliver or support our provision of products and services to you. For example, our agents, contractors and contracted service providers, insurers, and credit reporting bodies.

In general, we do not use or disclose your personal information (including credit information and credit eligibility information) for a purpose other than:

    • as set out in our Privacy Policy;
    • as otherwise disclosed to you when you have consented;
    • as required or permitted by law; or
    • when you would reasonably expect us to.

We don’t disclose sensitive information about you unless you agree, or would reasonably expect us to.

OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information to a recipient located outside Australia. For example, this may include to;

CapitalSkye Group companies;
our contracted service providers operating overseas; and
organisations operating overseas with whom we partner to provide goods and services. They are likely to be located in New Zealand, US, Germany and the UK.

MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
We may use your personal information to directly offer you products and services that we believe may be of interest and value to you, but we will not do this if you tell us not to. The marketing for these products and services may be offered by a member of the CapitalSkye Group or one of its preferred suppliers by various means, including by mail, telephone, email, SMS or through social media or targeted advertising through CapitalSkye Group or non-CapitalSkye websites or our online services.

When we market products and services to you, we will comply with applicable Privacy Laws and will obtain your consent if this is required. If you do not want to receive marketing offers from us, please contact us using the contact details below or opt-out facility provided to you.
