VIX Verify collects images of ID documents, such as identity cards, driver's licences and passports. These documents are collated into our ID Document Library and used as the basis for testing updates and improvements to our greenID verification software and also software developed by our ultimate Parent entity, GB Group PLC. You should specifically note that your documents may be used for testing outside of Australia and/or New Zealand.

Images are collected on a voluntary basis and VIX understands that individuals volunteer their documents in good faith with an expectation that they will be treated with due care and not used inappropriately.  The following is a summary of what VIX and the GB Group PLC will and will not do in relation to the identity document images it holds.
