On this page
Overview
Business consumer disclosure consents enable businesses to consent to accredited data recipients sharing their CDR data with software products or specified persons who are not accredited, like bookkeepers, consultants and other advisers who are not classified as trusted advisers under the current CDR Rules.
In accordance with CDR Rule 1.10A(9)–(14), the accredited data recipient must:
- take reasonable steps to confirm that the consumer is a CDR business consumer;
- invite a consumer to make a business consumer statement, certifying that the consent is given in a business capacity;
- not make the giving of a business consumer disclosure consent, or business consumer statement a condition for supply of the goods or services requested, unless the only service that is requested is for data collected and disclosed to a specified person.
Under CDR Rule 1.10AA(1)(a), CDR representatives cannot deal with consumers in their capacity as a CDR business consumer.
