According to rule 1.7, a joint account is a joint account with a data holder for which there are 2 or more joint account holders, each of which is an individual who:
(i) so far as the data holder is aware, is acting in their own capacity and not on behalf of another person; and
(ii) is eligible in relation to the data holder; but does not include a partnership account with a data holder.
Division 4.2A sets out the three disclosure options (pre-approval option, co-approval option and non-disclosure option), with the default option being the pre-approval option.
