Privacy Policy

How we use your information.

1. When you apply, we ask you to supply certain information to us. This enables us to assess your affordability for a vehicle/finance loan. We do not wish to over-commit anyone when purchasing/taking finance from our company, and in terms of the Responsible Code of Lending, we take this seriously.

2. We ask you to complete our standard application, which contains your personal information, including your email address, supply proof of address, a copy of your driver’s license, payslips and or WINZ breakdowns, and we ask you to tell us about your credit history.

3. We ask you to confirm the status of the credit. For instance, have you ever had, or are there now, any attachments or legal proceedings against you, or any action for payment default. It is necessary for you to declare any Bankruptcy, whether current or past.

4. It’s important to have these disclosed, and these may or may not inhibit your ability to obtain credit from our company.

5. We ask that you declare you are over 18 years old and are not an undischarged bankrupt. If you are currently Bankrupt you must declare this to us.

10. Our Privacy Policy may be different to those we may share your information with, so we encourage you to do your own research.

11. Our details – in the unlikely event of a sale of our business or merger of our business with another business, your details may be disclosed.

12. Third-Party Lenders – should we need to refer your application to a third-party lender, then your personal information will be shared. Should this occur, it is likely that they would also conduct their own searches against you with credit agencies, for the purposes of assessing your credit.

13. VEDA – We subscribe to Veda for the purposes of making some credit decisions – i.e. assessing your credit score.

14. Waka Kotahi (NZTA) – We verify your identity through a third-party supplier – this being Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

When necessary, we may disclose this information to associated contractors, agents and other authorised parties.

You may revoke authorised access to your personal information at any time. You can do this by opting out via the NZTA website at www.nzta.govt.nz.
