1  PRIVACY POLICY.

We respect your personal information, and this Privacy Policy explains how we handle it. The policy covers Reyash Pty Ltd trading as Oz Financing.

This Policy also includes our credit reporting policy, that is, it covers additional information on how we manage your personal information collected in connection with a credit application, or a credit facility.  We refer to this creditrelated information below as credit information.    

1.1  Information will be required from you

Under the Act, we are obliged to make sure that any loan, or principal increase to a loan, or lease that we suggest to you or assist you to obtain is ”not unsuitable” for you. We will need to ask you a series of questions to make this assessment. The law requires us to:

• make reasonable enquiries about your borrowing objectives and requirements;
• make reasonable enquiries about your financial situation; and
• take reasonable steps to verify the details of your financial situation.

Credit will be unsuitable if, at the time of making the assessment, it is likely that, at the time the recommended loan or lease is made:

• you cannot afford to repay the loan or lease or can afford to repay it only with substantial hardship; or
• the loan or lease does not meet your borrowing objectives and/or requirements.

For these reasons, we must ask you to provide us with a significant amount of information, much of which we will need to verify. It is therefore very important that the information you provide to us is accurate and complete. 

If we provide you with credit assistance, we are required to provide you, upon your request, a copy of our preliminary credit assessment that details how we considered the product we suggested to be ”not unsuitable” for up to seven years after the date of the assistance.

1.2  How information is collected from you

We will collect your information from you directly whenever we can, like from enquiries we make of you when you seek credit assistance from us. We may verify that information from sources referred to in the responses to those enquiries or in this privacy statement.

1.3  How information is collected from other sources

Sometimes we will collect information about you from other sources as the Privacy Act 1988 permits. We will do this only if it’s reasonably necessary to do so, for example, where:

• we collect information from third parties about a loan or lease in relation to which you seek our services; • we can’t get hold of you and we rely on public information to update your contact details; or •           we exchange information with your legal or financial advisers or other representatives.

When the law authorises or requires collection of information

Some law may require us to collect personal information about you. For example, we may require your information to verify your identity under Australian Anti-Money Laundering law.

1.4  How your information may be used

We may use your information for purposes including:

• giving you credit assistance;
• giving you information about loan products or related services;
• considering whether you are eligible for a loan or lease or any related service you requested;
• assisting you to prepare an application for a lease or a loan;
• administering services we provide, for example, to answer requests or deal with complaints;
• administering payments we receive, or any payments we make, relating to your loan or lease; identifying you;
• telling you about other products or services we make available and that may be of interest to you, unless you tell us not to;
• telling you about other suppliers, with whom we have arrangements, that supply goods or services that may be of interest to you;
• allowing us to run our business efficiently and perform general administrative tasks;
• preventing or investigating any fraud or crime or any suspected fraud or crime; as required by law, regulation or codes binding us; and
• any purpose to which you have consented.

You can let us know at any time if you no longer wish to receive direct marketing offers from us. We will process your request as soon as practicable.
