If we share your CDR data with any accredited person, we will ensure that we have your consent before we do this.

Notifications

We will notify you of events in relation to your CDR data as required under the CDR, including as follows:

  • when you give us consent to collect and use your CDR data;
  • when we need to check in with you to let you know your consent is still current;
  • when you withdraw your consent;
  • at the time of the collection of your CDR data;
  • when we respond to your correction request; and

Your CDR data rights

Access: You may request access to the CDR data that we hold about you. Where you submit an access request to us we will provide you access to your CDR data in accordance with the CDR access requirements.

Correction: If you believe that any CDR data we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you have the right to request the correction of your CDR data. Where you submit a correction request to us we will promptly take steps to correct your CDR data. You can also ask the Data Holder to correct the information.

Withdrawal of consent: If you have given us consent to collect and manage your CDR data, you may withdraw your consent at any time. However, if you withdraw your consent, while you may retain access to the Greener mobile application, we may not be able to continue providing some or all of the Greener services to you. If you withdraw your consent, we’ll delete your data if you requested us to do so when you first consented.

Deletion request: A data recipient can only ask for data that is absolutely necessary and can only hold it for the minimum amount of time it is needed to provide the service. You may request that we delete redundant data that we hold about you. Where you submit a deletion request to us we will promptly respond to your deletion request and take the steps described in the ‘Our deletion and de-identification policy’ section below. We only use your data for the purpose you have agreed to and we will delete it after it has been used for that purpose. When you withdraw your consent, your data is automatically deleted if you requested for it to be deleted at time of consent – otherwise we may instead deidentify it.

Submitting requests: You may submit the above requests via the functionality in the mobile application (otherwise known as the consumer dashboard) or by contacting us at the contact details on our website and at the end of this Consumer Data Right Policy. Where we receive a request, we may require that you provide further information so that we can respond to your request. We will respond to your request and let you know the outcome of your request.

Our deletion and de-identification policy

Redundant data: When CDR data is no longer required for any purpose permitted by law it becomes redundant data. We will destroy, delete or de-identify redundant data unless we have a legal obligation to maintain the data, such as for legal reporting purposes or by a court or tribunal order, or if we need or reasonably anticipate that we will need the redundant data for legal or dispute resolution proceedings. Unless you have asked us to delete your redundant data, our general policy is to decide whether to delete, destroy or de-identify redundant data once it becomes redundant.

Deletion process: Where we delete or destroy CDR data we delete it from our storage, we delete all copies of it and if we have disclosed it to any third party we ask them to delete it.

De-identification process: Where we de-identify CDR transaction data, we do this by removing all personally identifiable information within the CDR dataset and any other information that could identify you to individual purchases. Steps include, but are not limited to:

  • removing the transaction’s userID (no link to any user ID remains)
  • removing the time portion of the transaction date time stamp
  • removing the transaction description (identifying any information that might specify the merchant’s location)

The remaining data is now anonymous and unable to be re-identified.

De-identification: We may also de-identify CDR data which has not become redundant in the process of creating analytics. We use these analytics to inform our product improvement and development. Sometimes we also disclose these analytics to merchants we partner with and to you to provide you with general insights about users of Greener, and for invoicing purposes. We may also share de-identified CDR data with third party fraud prevention tools for the purpose of fraud detection and prevention.

If a service does not require the ongoing use of your de-identified CDR data, you have the option to have it deleted. You can decide this when you first grant consent and any time during the consent lifecycle.
