Processing of personal data
Transfer of personal data
When logging in, personal information is transferred from the identity provider you have logged in with to the eduSign service to give you as a user access to login-protected information in the service. At time of login, a number of personal data is requested to identify you as a user and give you access to service.
The personal data we obtain from the identity providers is that which is strictly needed for:
