Tyro Health uses the IDMatrix product from credit reporting and identity agency Equifax to verify your identity online. This tool meets a high standard of fraud/identity protection assurance as it is integrated with the Australian Government Document Verification Service as an approved gateway service and identity service provider.
Tyro Health does not record, store or log:
- any government-issued identification numbers, issue dates or expiry dates (for example, driver's license number, card number and passport number are never stored).
- sensitive personal details such as residential address.
Tyro Health does:
- Transmit identity information you provide directly to IDMatrix for assessment (however this information is not stored).
- Record and store information about the type of identity documents you provide (for example, that a driver's license and passport was used to verify identity).
- Record and store your name.
- Record, store and log technical session details for fraud prevention activities (such as the date, time, origination and device type used at time of verification).
Equifax is an authorised provider for the Australian Government Document Verification System and is bound by the terms, conditions and security controls mandated by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs.
