We use the Personal Information we collect to, among other things:
We may otherwise use your Personal Information with your consent or at your direction. We use your Personal Information for the purposes for which it was given to us, or for purposes which are directly related to one of our functions or activities, and we generally do not give it to government agencies, private sector organisations or anyone else unless one of the following applies:
You agree that we can collect your Personal Information (which may include biometric data such as a picture of your face or identity documents with your face on it and a liveness check) so that you can be provided with our identity checking services, facilitated through our digital identity verification service provider. Without this information, your identity documents cannot be validated, and our Services cannot be provided.
You acknowledge that information about your identity documents that you provide may be given to identity verifiers such as the Australian government and other issuing authorities to confirm whether it matches information held by the authority or entity that issued the identity document. You agree that the identity verifiers can give us information about whether there is a match, and that we can use that match information in providing our identity checking services. If we offer checking of an identity document issued overseas and you provide such a document in connection with the identity verification service, you agree that information may be transferred internationally for the purpose of this identity checking process, and that we may use third party systems and services as we engage with government identity verifiers.
We may hold some information about Australian and non-Australian residents as a result of the provision of our Services. We may use this information to assist in checking details of information about your identity and/ or complete a verification check. Details checked in this way may be disclosed to participating organisations who access the digital identity verification services with your consent to authenticate your identity and/ or complete a verification check.
By registering a profile, you agree that we may link some details of this information to your profile, which helps us keep your registered information up to date.
We will disclose your information to some other third-party identity verifiers to assist in the administration of the digital identity verification service and in order to verify your details, and may collect some Personal Information from them.
Where you have consented to have your identity checked for an organisation, we provide to the organisation some Personal Information that has been checked, which may include your name, address, email address and date of birth, and whether a match has been confirmed by government identity verifiers. We may provide to the organisation copies of identity documents, identification numbers used on these documents, or details of the authentication sources used to check your identity, where we have your express consent. If we reasonably believe that any information provided to an organisation was or has become incorrect, misleading or out-of-date, we may inform the organisation and provide corrections or details of our concerns. You should check the privacy policy for each organisation before you agree for us to provide the organisation with information about your identity.
In cases where the identity checking process needs to be completed in person, we may retain the information you provided through the Websites, including your Personal Information, for a limited period to allow you time to complete the process. If you do not complete the process within the timeframe we specify, we will discard the information you provided. If you continue the process:
Where we check an identity document, we may retain your Personal Information and details from the identity document as well as details of the check we performed and the result of the check for audit and assurance purposes. We do not store images of identity documents.
If you register a profile:
You consent to us creating a biometric template from the data collected from the digital identity verification service. For example, we may use biometric templates to verify your profile image by comparing it with other images.
If following registering a profile, when checking an identity document, we will also retain a record of your Personal Information and details from the identity document you provided us to carry out the check (such as identity document numbers, your date of birth), so that you can access this information at a later date. You acknowledge and agree that the Personal Information you supplied to us to carry out a point in time identification verification was validated against sources that are not controlled by us. If the details of your identity documents have changed from the Personal Information you supplied to us when the check was fulfilled, and you wish to correct any details, You should engage directly with the custodians of that information (for example, VicRoads).
Your information will be used to check your identity for an organisation only with your consent. You may give the consent to us through the digital identity verification service via the Websites, or directly to another organisation. If you do not use the digital identity verification service to check your identity to any organisation for an extended period, the information stored in your profile may be deleted.
You hereby authorise us to disclose the information we hold about you and grant access to your profile to law enforcement and government authorities and agencies in accordance with their lawful requests.

This may mean that some Personal Information is held for longer than other information. When Personal Information is no longer needed, we either securely destroy it, or irreversibly anonymise the data (and we may further retain and use the anonymised information).
The following provides information about entities with which we may share your Personal Information. Our practices vary depending on the type of information and sharing.
We may share your Personal information within our family of affiliated companies (“Affiliates”) so that we may provide offers from those companies that may be relevant to you, better understand your preferences, and improve our Services.
We may also share your Personal information with our business partners and customers or your authorised representatives to provide you with Services that you request. For example, if you sign up for a promotion that runs on our Services but that is sponsored or co-sponsored by another company, your information may be shared with that sponsor. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these entities and recommend you review their privacy policies carefully.
We may share your Personal Information with companies providing services on our behalf, such as hosting vendors, advertising service providers, data analytics companies, marketing service companies, and list managers. We also may share your Personal information, including your payment information, as appropriate to process your payments for the Services or complete a transaction.

Some of the content, advertising, and functionality on our Services may be provided by third parties, such as our customers, service providers (such as verification of identity) or advertisers. These companies may collect or receive certain Personal Information about your use of the Services, including through the use of cookies, beacons, and similar technologies, and this information may be combined with Personal Information collected across different websites and online services in order to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our Services.
We and our service providers (including affiliates) may use and share your personal information as we believe is necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, or defend the legal rights, privacy, safety, or property of the Services, our employees or agents or users, to detect, suppress or prevent fraud or where otherwise required or permitted by applicable law or legal process, including responding to a search warrant or other legally valid requests from public and government authorities (which may include lawful access by U.S., Canadian, Australian or other governmental authorities, courts or law enforcement agencies).
We may transfer to the purchaser any Personal Information we have about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets to a third party, such as in the event of a merger, acquisition, sale or in connection with a bankruptcy reorganization.
In addition to the sharing described in this Privacy Policy, we may share Personal Information about you with third parties whenever you consent to or direct such sharing.
We may use third parties to serve advertisements on our Services and on other websites and digital platforms. These companies may use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to report certain information about your visits to our Services and other websites (such as web pages you visit and your response to ads) in order to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our Services. To learn more and to opt-out of having your information used by these companies for online behavioral advertising purposes, please see “Choices with Respect to Interest-Based Advertisements” below.

We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider.
“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your computer or devices when you visit a website. Cookies may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer or device so that you can be recognized as the same user across one or more browsing sessions, and across one or more sites. Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:
Most browsers accept cookies automatically but can be configured not to do so. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. If you disable cookies, it may interfere with the functioning of the Services.
We and other companies that provide advertising and other services on our Services use cookies, web beacons, do-not-track signals and similar technologies to improve and customize your advertisements and your experience using our Services. We use cookies to make our Websites work. We set analytics cookies to help us improve our Services and Websites (when you enable them) and some of these cookies allow us to remember your preferences. Some cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the Websites function. We may use cookies such as Google Analytics cookies to help us to improve our Websites by collecting and reporting information on how users use them. The cookies may collect information in a way that does not directly identify anyone.
We, along with third parties, also may use technologies called beacons (or “pixels”) that communicate information from your device to a server. Beacons can be embedded in online content, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read certain types of Personal Information from your device, know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message, determine the time and date on which you viewed the beacon, and the IP address of your device. We and third parties use beacons for a variety of purposes, including to analyze the use of our Services and (in conjunction with cookies) to provide real estate inventory and ads that are more relevant to you both on and off the Service.
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no agreed worldwide industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, the Services currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when such a standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.
We, along with third parties, may use other kinds of technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage, in connection with our Services. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. However, these technologies may make use of different parts of your device from standard cookies, and so you might not be able to control them using standard browser tools and settings. For HTML5 local storage, the method for disabling HTML5 will vary depending on your browser. For Flash cookies, information about disabling or deleting information contained in Flash cookies can be found here.
You may block cookies and similar technologies in your browser or device settings, as and if permitted by such device.
You may opt out of receiving targeted advertising from participating ad networks, audience segment providers, ad serving vendors, and other service providers by visiting websites operated by the Network Advertising Initiative, Digital Advertising Alliance and Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada.
