The Consumer Data Right (CDR) gives consumers greater control over their data. The Data Standards for CDR set the specific baseline for implementation.
Data Standards for Digital ID
The Digital ID Act sets the framework and accreditation scheme for Digital ID services. It includes 2 Data Standards: biometrics and technologies in accredited services and technical requirements.
