## Credit providers

We may submit a credit application to credit providers listed in our ‘Credit Provider Schedule’.  If a credit provider holds pertinent credit eligibility information, the credit provider must share this information with us, yourself or someone you have authorised to act on your behalf.  Credit providers may also engage directly with, and disclose information about you to, a credit reporting body and you can ascertain the details on this and how they handle personal and credit information via their websites which are listed in our ‘Credit Provider Schedule’.  If your credit application proceeds with a credit provider you may be asked again for your consent to collect, store and use your personal and credit information by this credit provider.

## Disclosing your information overseas

Some of the parties with which we exchange your personal information, including our service providers and other third parties, may be located outside Australia including India, Singapore and the United States of America.  

We may also need to send your information overseas in order to process transactions you have instructed us to make, such as international money transfers. The countries to which we disclose your information will depend on the transaction details.

1. that we provide you with the personal and credit information we hold about you;
2. that we correct any personal and credit information we hold about you that is shown to be incorrect;
3. for copies of our Privacy Policy and this document;
   
   the credit reporting body does not use your personal information for assessment purposes or direct marketing; and
4. the credit reporting body provides you with a copy of information it holds about you.

Subject to the provisions of the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles, we will generally give you access to your personal information. However, there may be exclusions that apply that permit us to not provide you with access in some circumstances. If access is denied, we will provide you with the reason why unless, having regard to the grounds for refusal, it would be unreasonable for us to do so. Where we do grant access to your information, we may charge you a fee for accessing your personal information.

You can also contact us to request that we correct personal information that we hold about you. If we are satisfied that the personal information is inaccurate, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading then we will take reasonable steps to correct that information. 

To access and/or seek correction of your personal or credit information we hold, or make a complaint about privacy, you can contact our Privacy Officer on 1800 867 132 or email [dean@betterfinance.com.au](mailto:dean@betterfinance.com.au)

If you do NOT want to receive marketing information from us, please email [equiries@betterfinance.com.au](mailto:equiries@betterfinance.com.au)

##     Electronic communication

If you provide us with an email address or mobile phone number, you consent for us to use these details to send you, or make available to you, notices and relevant documents, including those from a credit provider or insurer.  You are therefore responsible for maintaining appropriate software, hardware and associated processes to receive, access, review, print and save copies of such documents.  

This consent applies to all types of communication that is permitted by law to occur electronically.  Therefore, paper (hard copy) documents may not be provided to you, unless we are obliged to by law.  You must regularly check advised electronic communication mediums for communication from us.  If your details change, you must promptly notify us.
