Who can see your data

The short answer: you see everything, services see almost nothing, and the network sees only encrypted material it cannot read.

Everything. Your wallet shows every verified claim, every consent you have granted, every service you have shared with, and your verification history. You can export a copy of your data at any time.

• Your verification level (for example, Standard).
• The specific answer you agreed to share — for example “over 18: yes”, or a verified name if you explicitly consented to share it.
• A pass/fail verification result when it asks the network to confirm your identity — only if you consented to verification requests.

Validators — the independent computers that run the network — process encrypted payloads and record encrypted references and verification results. They can see that a verification event happened and its outcome, but the underlying documents and biometrics are encrypted with keys they do not hold for browsing. Machine-learning verification runs in controlled environments, and results, not raw inputs, are what get recorded.

Like any blockchain, the VirtEngine chain has public, permanent records: wallet addresses, transaction history, and encrypted scope references. None of your personal details, documents or biometrics are ever public. Someone looking at the chain sees that an address holds verified scopes — not who you are.

• Advertisers and data brokers — your data is never sold or traded.
• Other users of the network.
• Services you have not consented to share with.
• identity.org.au itself — this website holds no user accounts and no personal data.
