CX Guidelines

Read first CX Checklist attributes ◦ Area refers to the stage in the consumer journey, such as Pre-consent, Consent, Authenticate, Authorise, or Consent Management. ◦ Focus area refers to a specific theme in each stage (e.g. 01. User Identifier). ◦ Checklist ref contains a unique reference number for the item. ▪ The first values refer to the Area (e.g. 0DL.xx.xx for data language; ***2AU.*xx.xx for authentication). ▪ The second set values refer to the Focus area (e.g. xxx.01.xx). ▪ The last values refer to the annotation number used on the wireframe, where available (e.g. xxx.xx.02; wireframes are linked to in the Example column). ◦ Type refers to the source of the statement: Rules, Standards and Guidelines. ◦ Participant refers to the relevant CDR Participant for the item. ◦ Requirement level refers to the level of obligation. For the data standards, the key words MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, and MAY are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119. CX Guidelines provide optional examples and recommendations; as such, a MAY is used to denote a CX Guideline for the purposes of this checklist regardless of the language used in the guideline statement. ◦ Statement refers to the relevant requirement or recommendation as articulated in the rules, standards, or guidelines. ◦ References points to the requirement itself, or its location; typically a rule, standard, or research. ◦ Example links to the relevant artefact, such as the CX Guideline page, which includes wireframes of example implementations, or a table in the case of data language standards. ◦ Version introduced refers to the version of the data standards that was current when the item was introduced to the CX Guidelines, starting from version 1.4.0. Items noted as introduced in 1.4.0 or earlier are requirements that exist in v1.4.0 of the CX Guidelines (PDF). ◦ Date introduced refers to the specific date the item was introduced to the CX Checklist, using August 2020 as a starting point (when v1.4.0 was introduced). The date will typically be the date of the version release, but some new items may not constitute a standards change (e.g. a revised wireframe or rules change) and as such may not align with standards versioning. ◦ Date modified refers to when an existing CX Checklist entry was updated, which is not necessarily the date the corresponding requirement (Rule, Standard or Guideline) was changed. ◦ Status refers to whether the item is active or has been retired from the CX Guidelines. An 'active' item is applicable and current. A 'retired' item may be labelled as such because it no longer applies, has been merged with another item, or has been removed from the CX Guidelines. A 'retired' item may still be a requirement. These statuses are used in the live CX Checklist and CSV to highlight changes between versions of the CX Guidelines.

5CM3.01.15

01. Change to non-disclosure option

16

CX Guideline
MAY

Data holders may consider providing a centralised location for managing various CDR account permissions, which could, for example, allow a consumer to access and manage their joint accounts, secondary user instructions, and any appropriate partnership and non-individual permissions. The disclosure option management service (DOMS) could be accessible from this location and in relation to the consumer dashboard.

5CM3.01.16

01. Change to non-disclosure option

17

CX Guideline
MAY

Data holders should refer to disclosure options using plain language. A description of the disclosure option should be provided where possible. These artefacts use 'single consent' to represent pre-approval disclosure option, 'joint consent' to represent co-approval disclosure option, and 'stop all sharing from this account' or 'data sharing disabled' to represent a non-disclosure option.

5CM3.01.17

01. Change to non-disclosure option

18

CX Guideline
MAY

Community consultation suggested that identifying the specific account holder may raise privacy concerns in some instances. Data holders may identify the specific account holder in relation to the relevant rules requirement, but may also deem it necessary to omit these details in certain scenarios in accordance with CDR Rule 4A.15.

5CM3.01.18

01. Change to non-disclosure option

19

CX Guideline
MAY

Data holders may provide a mechanism for consumers to see a list of authorisations currently sharing data from that joint account.

01. Change to non-disclosure option

20

CX Guideline
MAY

Data holders may offer an alternative notification schedule to apply at the account level and the customer level.

5CM3.01.20

01. Change to non-disclosure option

21

CX Guideline
MAY

To aid intuitive disclosure option management, data holders may choose to semantically distinguish pre-approval and co-approval changes from changing to a non-disclosure option.

5CM3.01.21

01. Change to non-disclosure option

22

CX Guideline
MAY

Existing approvals for specific authorisations are not automatically removed when a non-disclosure option is applied, but the joint account data cannot be shared due to the application of the non-disclosure option. If a joint account is changed from a non-disclosure to enable sharing again, joint account data sharing will recommence for any active authorisations that are associated with that joint account.

5CM3.01.22

01. Change to non-disclosure option

23

CX Guideline
MAY

Email is shown as an example notification only. Data holders must use ordinary means of contacting the relevant account holder(s) as outlined in CDR Rules 4A.7(3) and 1.7(1). A data holder may agree with the account holder on a “particular means of contacting the account holder for the purposes of the relevant provision”. Data holders are required to provide an online disclosure option management service, and may negotiate to provide joint account notifications online in line with this provision even where the consumer otherwise receives notifications via non-digital channels.

5CM3.01.23

01. Change to non-disclosure option

24

CX Guideline
MAY

Data holders can refer to accounts using recognised nicknames, icons, account numbers, and account type. They can also include information on other elements the account may refer to such as any related plans, services, properties, numbers, and products.
