If you decide to use Consumer Data Right, you are in full control of your data in the system. You choose who has access to your data, and for what purpose. 

You control:

• The consent process
• What information you share
• Who you share your data with
• How long you share your data for

This is all managed through the provider’s website or app. By law, this process must be easy to access and understand.
