We will endeavour to destroy or de-identify your personal information when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was provided, unless a legal exception applies.

Credit reporting information

Dexion also collects financial and trading information from customers in order to establish and manage business and customer relationships. This information is securely held for internal accounting and administration purposes associated with the provision of products and services (including the extension of commercial credit) to customers and in order to enhance our business relationship and level of service.

Collection of commercial credit information is undertaken only with consent. To complete an application to open an account or extend commercial credit we may ask you to provide information including your: ABN, business structure, financial position, trading history and commercial trade references.

Dexion may receive commercial credit information about you from a credit reporting body (such as Veda or Dun & Bradstreet), or trade referees nominated by you. Dexion may also disclose limited commercial information about you to third parties where you have nominated Dexion as a trade reference, solely to fulfil this purpose.

Commercial credit information will only be used to assess your credit worthiness. It will not be used for the purposes of pre-screening of direct marketing by a credit provider, and will not be intentionally disclosed to entities outside Australia.

To the extent that you are an unincorporated entity, this is personal information covered by this policy. Information about customers, which is about an identifiable person, is also personal information covered by this policy. Dexion does not have a practice of collecting or holding consumer credit information covered by the Credit Reporting Privacy Code.
