Processing of personal data
Transfer of personal data
Personal data are transferred from the identity provider (your login service) to the test services to ensure that the identity provider complies with the SWAMID Best Current Practice for Entity Category Attribute Release. When logging in to the respective test service, a unique subset of personal data is requested from the list below from the identity provider you are testing. Each test service stores the set of attributes that have been transferred from the identity provider to the service in order to be able to give a summarised result after the test suite has been completed. The attribute values, that contains personal data, are not stored.
When logging in to these test services, the following personal data are requested from the identity provider you use:
| Personal data | Purpose | Technical representation |
|---|---|---|
| Unique identifiers | To verify that the attribute is released by the identity provider and to display the values to the user performing the tests | eduPersonPrincipalName |
| Personal Identity Number | To verify that the attributes is released by the identity provider and to display the values to the user performing the tests | norEduPersonNIN personalIdentityNumber |
| Researcher and contributor identifier | To verify that the attribute is released by the identity provider and to display the value to the user performing the tests | eduPersonOrcid |
| Name | To verify that the attributes is released by the identity provider and to display the values to the user performing the tests | cn displayName givenName sn |
| E-mail address | To verify that the attribute is released by the identity provider and to display the value to the user performing the tests | |
| Date of birth | To verify that the attribute is released by the identity provider and to display the value to the user performing the tests | schacDateOfBirth |
