Protecting
your information is important
At HomeSec Finance Express we
understand the importance you attach to information that identifies you (your
'personal information'). This Privacy Statement tells you how and why we
collect information when you apply for funding and also how we may use the
information.
What
information we collect about you
HomeSec Finance Express Pty Ltd
collects information about you when they apply for funding. We collect personal
information about you to verify your identity, address and income so that we
can adequately assess your application. By signing this form you also give us
authority to do credit reference checks. If your funding is approved, elements
of your application and repayment history may be used in calculating
statistics. Your details are never associated directly with the resulting
statistics which are only ever used to enable us to better serve you and future
customers and to aid our marketing. (For example your age may be used in
calculations which profile age brackets of our customer base).
We may also use your information
to provide you with offers and information about our services that we think may
interest you. If you do not want to receive this information, contact us and we
will remove you from our mailing list.
Do we give your personal
information to anyone else?
HomeSec Finance Express Pty Ltd does not sell, rent or trade
personal information to, or with, third parties.
However if you default in repayments you have given us the authority to
pass on your personal and funding information to a debt collection agency. We
may also list your default with a credit reference organisation.
We may also be required to disclose information for law enforcement or
regulatory reasons. By applying for a loan, you acknowledge that we have the
authority to do this as permitted under the Australian Privacy Act.

processes, we have incorporated security procedures and practices that we
consider are consistent with Australian industry practice. We review our
security procedures from time to time and update them when relevant. Your
personal information is only accessible by us and by those who are authorised
by us to access it.
