ID scanners are machines that electronically read identification cards, such as a driver licence or proof of age card, and store identification details. Licensees can voluntarily install ID scanners as a security measure for their venue.
If you've voluntarily installed one in your venue, you must comply with the Privacy Act 1988 to protect personal information recorded by a patron ID scanner.
For more information about privacy requirements with ID scanners, see the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner
