The REFEDS Data protection Code of Conduct (CoCo v2) defines an approach at a European level to meet the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for releasing mostly harmless personal attributes to a Service Provider (SP) from an Identity Provider (IdP). For more information please see REFEDS Data Protection Code of Conduct. The earlier GÉANT Data protection Code of Conduct (CoCo v1) defines an approach at a European level to meet the requirements of the European Union Data Protection Directive. The Data Protection Directive has been superseeded by GDPR and therefore GDPR must be fulfilled by CoCo v1taken into account for CoCo v1. CoCo v1 is in the same spirit as GDPR, i.e. the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. For more information please see GEANT Data Protection Code of Conduct. CoCo v1 will exist in parallell with CoCo v2 for an extended time and therefore we recommend all services that uses CoCo v2 to also declare CoCo v1 and the other way around. |
CoCo is used both within SWAMID and in the eduGAIN interfederation to make services available to users of the higher education institutions in Sweden and around Europe. The CoCo makes it possible to automatically release mostly harmless attributes to Service Providers which fulfil the EU Data Protection legislation. The expected Identity Provider behaviour is to release the Service Provider required attributes if the IdP is able to. Required attributes means attributes the service must have to be able to work for the user. However it's possible to require more than one attribute of a specific type, i.e. name and identifier attributes, to increase the possibility to get the needed set of attributes. The required attributes for a specific service is defined in the the service metadata and must be described in the mandatory Service Provider Privacy Policy. There is furthermore an identity provider entity support category that should be registered for all Identity Provider that supports the CoCo entity category that can be used for filter purpose in a discovery service.
