Disclosing credit-related information to CRBs

We may disclose your credit-related information to a CRB for the purposes set out above and where the Privacy Act permits us to do so. The types of information we may disclose to a CRB include:

Our third party service providers will not collect, use, or disclose your personal information for any purpose other than our own, as set out in this Privacy Policy.

How do we store and protect your credit-related information?

We store credit-related information in both paper-based records and in electronic form (such as on computer servers) on our systems or the systems of our service providers. We take all reasonable precautions to safeguard your information from misuse, interference and loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including:

  • Restricting access to credit-related information stored in our electronic and paper-based records
  • Using technology products to prevent unauthorised access to our electronic databases (such as industry standard firewalls) and ensure the security of electronic transmissions
  • Training, policies and procedures in relation to the use of our computers and management of credit-related personal information (including informing and training our employees who handle credit-related information of the requirements of the Privacy Act, CR Code, and Privacy Regulations)
  • Requiring all of our third party service providers to handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act, CR Code and Privacy Regulations

When we no longer need your credit-related information, and we are not required by law to retain the information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy that information or to ensure it is de-identified.

The internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. Other than where we use Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology (such as for the transmission of credit card information), to the maximum extent permitted by law we cannot and do not accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the internet, or the unauthorised access or use of that information.

How can you access your credit-related information?

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the credit-related information we collect, use, and disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant, and is not misleading. If your personal details change at any time please contact our Privacy Officer.

Under the Privacy Act you have a right to access the credit-related information we hold about you, subject to some exceptions allowed by law. Factors affecting your right to access include:

  • Giving access would be unlawful
  • Denying access is required or authorised by law
  • Giving access would be likely to prejudice an enforcement activity

If you would like access to your credit-related information, please contact our Privacy Officer using the contact details set out below. To ensure that you have access to the most up-to-date information you should additionally request access to creditrelated information held by CRBs about you.

We will usually respond to requests for access to credit-related information within 30 days of receiving the request. If we refuse your request, we will give you a written notice setting out the reasons for our refusal (except to the extent it would be unreasonable to do so) and the mechanisms available to you to complain about that refusal.

There is no charge for an access request, although we may charge you a reasonable fee for retrieving your information. We will inform you of any fee and obtain your agreement to that fee before the information is provided to you.

How can you request correction of your credit-related information?

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the credit-related information we collect is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant, and is not misleading. However if you believe that is not the case you have a right under the Privacy Act to request that we correct your credit-related personal information.

If you would like to do so, please contact our Privacy Officer using the contact details set out below.

If we are satisfied that your credit-related information is incomplete, inaccurate, out-of-date, irrelevant, or misleading we will take reasonable steps to correct that information within 30 days of your request, or within such longer period as you agree to in writing. Where it is necessary to resolve a correction request, we must consult with a CRB or another credit provider who holds or held that information.

We will notify you of our decision about a correction request within 5 business days of reaching that decision.

If we refuse your request, we will give you a written notice stating:

  • That the corrections have not been made
  • Our reasons for not correcting the information (including evidence substantiating the correctness of the information)
  • How you can make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (“OAIC”)

There is no cost involved for you to make a correction request or for the correction of your information.

How can you make a complaint?

If you believe that we have not complied with our obligations under Part IIIA of the Privacy Act or the CR Code, you have a right to complain. You must specify the nature of your complaint.

You can make a complaint to us by contacting our Privacy Officer using the contact details set out below.

You will receive a written acknowledgment of your complaint from us within 7 days after we receive the complaint together with details of how we will deal with the complaint. We investigate all complaints made to us and aim to resolve them within 30 days. If we cannot resolve your complaint within that period we will write to you explaining why we have been unable to resolve your complaint, the expected timeframe to resolve the complaint, and seeking your written agreement to extend the 30 day period. You may refer the matter to the OAIC if you wish to complain about delay in the handling of your complaint (using the contact details set out below).

If we consider it necessary in order to deal with your complaint, we must consult with a CRB or another credit provider. If, while your complaint remains unresolved, we disclose information the subject of the complaint to a third party, we may advise the third party of the complaint.

We will give you a written notice of our decision. If we find your complaint is justified, we will resolve it and, if necessary, change our policies and procedures. If you are not happy with the way your privacy-related complaint is being handled, or we fail to deal with your complaint to your satisfaction, you may refer the complaint to the OAIC under Part V of the Privacy Act.

Details of how to lodge a complaint with the OAIC may be found at www.oaic.gov.au or by calling 1300 363 992

Completing Cement Australia's Online Application for Commercial Credit

Cement Australia's online credit application system is a 12 step process that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

 

Please note that before you start, you will need your ABN/ACN details and the contact email addresses and phone numbers for your Accounts Payable department, and any primary contacts who will be coordinating your account with Cement Australia.

Our online system is easy to use, and allows you to start the process and save it for later if you get called away prior to completing the 12 steps, without the need to restart your application from scratch. You will have 14 days to complete the application after saving it.

Some of the screens will self-populate with current ASIC data, removing the need to double enter “public” information. When it comes to your Directors’ details, if you don't wish to provide personal details you can always use the primary business address details, together with a suitable contact email and phone number.

Before the approval process can commence, the credit application needs to be printed, signed in two places, witnessed, scanned as one PDF document (there should be a minimum of 7 pages) and uploaded to the Cement Australia online portal via the secure link that would have been emailed to you upon completion of the online application.

Please note, each credit application has its own security profile, and the data is encrypted so that no one outside of the applicant can access the application via the online portal.

Also, at no stage during the online process are you locked into any terms and conditions of credit; your application is not legally binding until you have signed, witnessed, dated, and resubmitted the completed application back to our portal.  

Note that Cement Australia also asks you to provide business information that is used in our system to set up a master data record as part of this process e.g.name and contact details for Accounts Payable for billing and account queries.

At various steps throughout the process, an automatic email will be sent to you to let you know the status of your application. These emails are sent to the email address provided by you when first applying for credit.

Finally, at each stage of this process you can rely on support if you need it from Cement Australia's friendly Credit Team who are here to help with any system related questions; I encourage you to give them a call on 07 3335 3292 if you get stuck so they can walk you through the process.

Thank you for considering Cement Australia as one of your valued trading partners, and we look forward to welcoming you on board.

Frequently Asked Questions from Customers:

The system will not allow me to proceed to the next step in the commercial credit application process?

When this happens it's because there are some mandatory fields in the application process that need to be populated, or alternatively incorrect data /format has been entered. If you check you will see a Red box around these fields. Once you have entered the data/made the correction, you will be able to proceed to the next step

I don't know all my Directors details, or we do not give out Director details - what do I put in these fields?

The system will automatically populate the names of your Directors (Company Application) based upon the current ASIC data. If you do not know your Directors phone numbers and street address/email address please enter your business details (phone number, street, postal address, and a suitable business email address (maybe insert the director’s personal assistant details)  If there is already data in these fields from ASIC you can overwrite as you see fit?

 I don't want to agree to the terms and conditions question at the end of the commercial credit application?

Accepting the online Terms and Conditions question, will only bind your business once you have signed and submitted your completed application, it is okay to put a tick in this box as we are not asking you to provide an electronic signature.  At this stage, we request you download your application and have your Director/Owner/Public Officer/Authorised staff member sign the T&C's of Credit 

If I provide my bank details will you use these to ”Direct Debit”  my account?

CA/Geocycle cannot use these details to debit customer's bank accounts as no direct debit authority has been provided. We only collect these details in the event of refunds or rebates and as part of our master data set up process.
