Section 56EM — Competition and Consumer Act 2010: Privacy safeguard 10—notifying of the disclosure of CDR data

Disclosures by data holders (1) If a data holder of CDR data is required or authorised under the consumer data rules to disclose the CDR data to a person, the data holder must: (a) take the steps specified in the consumer data rules to notify CDR consumers for the CDR data of the disclosure; and (b) ensure that this notification: (i) is given to those of the CDR consumers (if there are more than one) that the consumer data rules require to be notified; and (ii) covers the matters specified in those rules; and (iii) is given at or before the time specified in those rules. Note: This subsection is a civil penalty provision (see section 56EU). Disclosures by accredited data recipients (2) If an accredited data recipient of CDR data discloses the CDR data, the accredited data recipient must: (a) take the steps specified in the consumer data rules to notify CDR consumers for the CDR data of the disclosure; and (b) ensure that this notification: (i) is given to those of the CDR consumers (if there are more than one) that the consumer data rules require to be notified; and (ii) covers the matters specified in those rules; and (iii) is given at or before the time specified in those rules. Note: This subsection is a civil penalty provision (see section 56EU). Disclosures to designated gateways (3) To avoid doubt, subsection (1) or (2) applies even if the disclosure of the CDR data is to a designated gateway for the CDR data as required or authorised under the consumer data rules. Note: The designated gateway may be subject to a similar notification requirement under the consumer data rules (see paragraph 56BG(1)(c)). Disclosures by action service providers (4) If a person as an action service provider for a type of CDR action is required or authorised under the consumer data rules to disclose CDR data to another person, the action service provider must: (a) take the steps specified in the consumer data rules to notify CDR consumers for the CDR data of the disclosure; and (b) ensure that this notification: (i) is given to those of the CDR consumers (if there are more than one) that the consumer data rules require to be notified; and (ii) covers the matters specified in those rules; and (iii) is given at or before the time specified in those rules. Note: This subsection is a civil penalty provision (see section 56EU).
