Meaning of CDR data
(1) CDR data is:
(a) information that is within a class of information specified, as described in paragraph 56AC(2)(a), in an instrument designating a sector under subsection 56AC(2); or
(aa) information that:
(i) relates to a CDR consumer for a CDR action; and
(ii) an accredited action initiator for CDR actions of that type is authorised by the consumer data rules to use, or disclose, to prepare or give a valid instruction for the performance of the CDR action on behalf of the CDR consumer; or
(b) information that is not covered by paragraph (a) or (aa) of this subsection, but is wholly or partly derived from information covered by:
(i) paragraph (a) or (aa) of this subsection; or
(ii) a previous application of this paragraph.
Note 1: Geographical limitations may cause some information within a class specified as described in paragraph 56AC(2)(a) to be disregarded (see subsection 56AC(3)), which means it will not be CDR data.
Note 2: Information covered by paragraph (b) includes information derived from information covered by paragraph (a) or (aa), information derived from that derived information, and so on.
Note 3: Information covered by paragraph (b), for which there is a CDR consumer, cannot be required to be disclosed under the consumer data rules (see subsection 56BD(1)).
Note 4: Only certain kinds of CDR data for which there are no CDR consumers (also known as product data) can be required to be disclosed under the consumer data rules (see subsection 56BF(1)).
Meaning of directly or indirectly derived
(2) CDR data is directly or indirectly derived from other CDR data if the first - mentioned CDR data is wholly or partly derived from the other CDR data after one or more applications of paragraph (1)(b).
Meaning of CDR consumer for CDR data
(3) A person is a CDR consumer for CDR data if:

(i) of the supply of a good or service to the person or to one or more of the person's associates (within the meaning of section 318 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ); or
(ii) of circumstances of a kind prescribed by the regulations; and

Meaning of CDR consumer for a CDR action
(3A) A person is a CDR consumer for a CDR action if:
(a) the performance of the CDR action:
(i) is for the person; or
(ii) relates to the person because of circumstances of a kind prescribed by the regulations; and
(b) the performance of the CDR action is not for the person as:
(i) an accredited action initiator for CDR actions of that type; or
(ii) an action service provider for CDR actions of that type; and
(c) none of the exclusions (if any) prescribed by the regulations apply to the person in relation to the CDR action.
Example: Assume X and Y are both accredited action initiators, and Y gives a valid instruction for the performance of a CDR action (that relates to the supply of accounting services) on X's behalf. X will be a CDR consumer for the CDR action, but Y will not be because of paragraph (b).
