This guidance provide examples for how to implement express consent Identity Service Providers (ISPs) in the Australian Government Digital ID System (AGDIS).
Overview
Identity Service Providers (ISPs) may choose to obtain consent from individuals to share attributes. ISPs should, however, carefully consider the end-to-end user experience and consent fatigue risk, since individuals would likely need to provide multiple consents during a single interaction.
When asking an individual to give consent, an ISP 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 guidance 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.
