This Division sets out privacy safeguards that protect the privacy or confidentiality of CDR consumers' CDR data, whether the CDR consumers are individuals or bodies corporate.

The privacy safeguards apply mainly to accredited persons, but also to data holders, designated gateways and action service providers, in relation to their handling or future handling of the CDR data.

The circumstances in which these safeguards can apply to an accredited person include where the person is an accredited action initiator for a type of CDR action who is or may become an accredited data recipient of CDR data.

A person's failure to comply with any of these safeguards may lead to consequences, including liability to a civil penalty (see Subdivision G) or the suspension or revocation of the person's accreditation (see subsection   56BH(3)).
