LOGIN.GOV IS COMMITTED TO YOUR PRIVACY AND SECURITY

This describes how we ask for, use, retain, and protect your personal
information. Protecting your information is our priority at Login.gov.

The information that you submit is used to create or update your Login.gov
account and give you access to Login.gov’s partner agencies. When you provide
your email address or other proof of identity like a state ID, we can be sure
it’s really you and grant you access to the account — and keep the bad actors
away. This proof, called an electronic identity assurance credential, is like
putting a key into a lock and securely opens the door to the government agency’s
application or service.


HOW WE WORK WITH OUR PARTNER AGENCIES:

 * Login.gov partners with government agencies to provide secure access to their
   website, application or service. The partner agency (e.g. United States
   Office of Personnel Management) selects the type of information we request
   from you.
 * We ask primarily for information to authenticate your account and/or prove
   your identity.
 * When you create a Login.gov account, you consent to share personally
   identifiable information (PII). The information that you need to share
   depends on the request of the partner agency.
 * For authentication to establish a secure account, we need your name, email
   address, and an authentication method. Your authentication method could be a
   phone number where we share a SMS code, USB Security Key or other options.
 * Identity proofing requires more sensitive information such as a social
   security number, address, phone number connected to your address, and U.S.
   based state ID or driver’s license.
 * When completing identity proofing in person at the United State Postal
   Service  (USPS) Office, we share your validated name and address with USPS so
   that clerks can confirm your identity in person.
 * To safeguard individuals from fraud such as account takeover and identity
   impersonation, Login.gov employs controls designed to assess risk through an
   examination of the user’s device, identity, and their behavior while
   interacting with the Login.gov site.
 * In anticipation of possible integrations with the Internal Revenue Service
   (IRS): For individuals accessing IRS services, Login.gov will be sending
   information about both successful and unsuccessful attempts during
   authentication and identity proofing as well as any future security impacting
   account activities. In contrast, Login.gov only sends successful attempts to
   other service providers. Each of these events is shared in a manner that only
   the IRS can access and is not retained by Login.gov once it has been shared
   with the IRS. For further information as to how this attempts information is
   used by the IRS, please refer to the IRS’ Cybersecurity Data Warehouse
   Privacy and Civil Liberties Impact Assessment, CSDW PCLIA.
 * When users visit Login.gov, either to access their account or not, we
   anonymously aggregate some data. No individually identifying information is
   attached to this data. We aggregate information such as the pages visited,
   web browser type and version, and the length of your session to help us
   improve the Login.gov experience.
 * For example; If you experience an error and we know your web browser type and
   version, we can better identify how to fix your issue.
 * Stored information is encrypted at two levels. Encryption translates your
   data into code that is only accessible by you, the Login.gov account holder.
   This means you are the only one who can view and make changes to your account
   information.
 * The Login.gov operators (i.e. our contact help center) cannot view your
   information or make any changes.
 * Information is stored and deleted according to the National Archives and
   Records Administration (NARA) approved record schedule.

Protecting your information is our priority. You can read more detailed
explanations about how Login.gov works, our privacy act statement, and our
security practices.
