Data Privacy
Do you share data with third-party providers?
In 2019, the Australian Government passed Consumer Data Right (CDR) legislation, often referred to as ‘Open Banking’ — a regulatory framework designed to give customers greater choice and control over their financial data.
This legislation gives organisations accredited by the ACCC permission to receive generic data pertaining to: transactions, savings, fixed term deposits, loan and credit card products including features, eligibility, rates and fees. Accordingly, Summerland Bank is accredited to provide and receive de-identified data to improve the industry for all.
At its core, Open Banking is designed to provide consumers with a higher level of control over what data you do and don’t share, with whom, and for how long. Find out more about Open Banking and how to control your data.
Do you have a Privacy Policy?
As a customer-owned bank, and committed part of our local community, we care deeply about your privacy. It is important to us that you know exactly how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information. This information is publicly available in our Privacy Notification, which describes what information we collect and why, how it’s used and to whom it’s disclosed.
Our Privacy Policy also includes more details about what we do with your personal information and how we safeguard it. It also guides you on what to do if there’s a problem. To find out more, please contact our Privacy Officer on [insert email address].
