From time to time we may need to use your information for another purpose associated with a particular product or service. If so we will take reasonable steps to make you aware of that in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993.

You authorize us to collect information about you from any person who can provide us with information that relates to a purpose listed above and is necessary for that purpose. We may make enquiries about any information that you provide to us in order to check the accuracy of the information.

Disclosure of personal information

You agree that we can share your information with:

  • Our related organizations who may also store, use and disclose it under this policy
  • Agencies engaged by us to verify customer identity or address information
  • Organizations conducting market research, data processing and statistical analysis for us
  • Our assignees or potential assignees
  • Law enforcement authorities, the courts, government agencies, regulatory authorities or third parties, both in New Zealand and overseas, where we believe the disclosure will assist us to comply with any law or legal rules or will assist in the investigation, detection and/or prevention of fraud, money laundering or other criminal offences
  • Anyone that we need to contact to carry out your instructions to us (including the recipient of any payment).
  • We may also disclose information about you to anyone you authorize us to disclose that information to.
  • We may also disclose information about you to others where required by law or legal rules.

Your rights of access to and correction of information

We will do everything reasonable to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, although this does depend on you telling us about any changes that mean the information we hold about you are no longer correct. You may ask us for access to the information we hold about you and, if necessary, request corrections to it. Under the Privacy Act we may charge you for this.

We use email as a means of communicating with our members, and we encourage you to email us with your questions or comments.

If you would like access to the information we hold about you, please contact us.


Credit Checks

We may use credit reporting agencies to check your financial status when applying for accounts, products or services, where applicable, and to monitor your creditworthiness while you owe us money. This means we may give your information to those agencies, and they may give us other information they hold on your financial status. We may also let them know when you have and haven’t met your payment obligations to us, if applicable.

Credit reporting agencies may use the information we provide to update their credit reporting databases. When other individuals and organizations use the credit reporting agencies’ services, they may also be provided with this updated information.

We may also use other credit reporting agencies’ services in the future. For example, we may use credit reporting agencies’ monitoring services to get updated information about your financial status.
