Overview
Identity Exchange Providers (IXPs) are required to obtain consent from individuals before redirecting them to the client that initiated the authentication request.
When asking an individual to give consent, an IXP must:
- ensure that the process for an individual to provide express consent, or to withdraw or vary that consent, is described in clear, simple and accessible terms; and
- meet other requirements within the the Digital ID rules and standards.
This section provides examples illustrating how the IXP express consent requirements may be implemented. It also includes design patterns based on best practices and user research which are are not mandatory requirements.
For additional explanation on consent related obligations, please refer to OAIC’s guidance on Express consent in Australia’s Digital ID System.
