Dear <<First Name>>,
Thank you for your continued interest in the Consumer Data Right (CDR).
Consultation
The ACCC is increasingly seeing the benefits that can come from the participation in the CDR of third party service providers who collect or facilitate the collection of CDR data on behalf of accredited persons (intermediaries).
Intermediaries could assist in the collection of CDR data or offer ‘end-to-end’ services for the collection and use of CDR data to assist an accredited person to provide goods or services to consumers.
The ACCC also considers that it may be important for the uptake of CDR to allow, in some circumstances, the disclosure by data recipients of CDR data to non-accredited persons such as financial counsellors and accountants.
We have today released a consultation paper seeking views from interested parties on how best to permit the use of intermediaries and the disclosure of CDR data to non-accredited third parties, and what controls are appropriate having regard to the importance of privacy and security of CDR data.
To help guide submissions, the consultation paper outlines a number of questions on both intermediaries and disclosure to non-accredited third parties.
Parties interested in providing a submission in response to this consultation paper have until 3 February 2020.
Submissions will inform the development of version 2 of the CDR rules on which the ACCC expects to consult in March 2020.
Submissions and comments may be provided by email: CDR-ACCC@accc.gov.au
Season’s greetings
We here in the CDR team at the ACCC would like to wish you all a happy and safe holiday season and new year. We look forward to working with many of you in 2020 as we progress the implementation of the CDR ecosystem.
Kind regards,
Consumer Data Right Branch
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)
