Privacy Policy summary
We are committed to protecting your privacy.
We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and must protect your personal information according to that Act and other applicable laws, such as the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) ('Privacy Laws').
Our Privacy Policy describes how we protect and safeguard your financial information and comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.
This page is only a summary of our Privacy Policy. You may:
What kinds of personal 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. For instance, we may ask for identification information such as your name, address, and date of birth.
Why do we collect, hold, use and disclose 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) and to help us run our business. This may include:
- Checking your eligibility for the product or service.
- Assisting you where online applications are not completed.
- Providing you with the product or service.
- Helping you manage the product or service.
- Helping us develop insights and conduct data analysis to improve the delivery of products and services, enhance our customer relationships and effectively manage risks.
- Understanding your interests and preferences so we can tailor digital content.
How do we collect personal information?
We collect most personal information directly from you whether in person, on the phone or electronically, for example when you visit our websites, online banking services or use our mobile or tablet applications.
Sometimes we collect personal information about you from other people or organisations, for example from other DASH Group companies, publicly available sources of information and credit reporting bodies or service providers, such as companies that provide fraud prevention reports.
Do we disclose personal information overseas?
We may disclose your personal information to a recipient located outside Australia. For example, this may include the following:
- Our contracted service providers operating overseas.
- Organisations operating overseas with whom we partner to provide goods and services and who are likely to be in the Asia region.
Dash Technology Group (DTG) Surveys
DTG engages with external research partners to conduct market research surveys. These provide an opportunity to give feedback on your experiences with DTG, as well as identify areas of improvement. Your participation in these surveys is voluntary, and you can choose to opt out at any time.
DTG external research partners will NEVER ask you to disclose personal details such as:
- Your date of birth
- Your credit card number or expiry date
- Your account numbers or account balances
- Your driver's licence number
- Your passwords or PIN
- Your address
Please do not provide any of the above information to anyone claiming to be from DTG (either via phone call, email, SMS, or other message type).
How do we hold and protect your personal information?
Much of the information we hold about you will be stored electronically in secure data centres located in Australia. We also store information in data centres of our contracted service providers (including cloud storage providers), and some of these data centres may be located outside Australia.
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 do we disclose your personal information to, and why?
We may share your personal information with other DASH Group of companies. Sometimes we may disclose your personal information to organisations outside the DASH Group who help us deliver or support our provision of products and services to you. For example, our agents, contractors and contracted service providers and insurers.
Do we use or disclose personal information for marketing?
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. These products and services may be offered by a member of the DASH Group or one of its preferred suppliers by various means, including by mail, telephone, email, SMS or through social media or targeted advertising through DASH Group.
When we market products and services to you, we will comply with applicable Privacy Laws to obtain your consent if required.
If you do not want to receive marketing offers from us, please contact us using the contact details provided to you.
Access to and correction of personal information
You can request access to the personal information we hold about you. You can also ask for corrections to be made. To do so, please contact us.
