The Identity Provider performs authentication at the request of a service which [ORGANISATION] recognises, either via metadata provided by the SWAMID federation or because the service and [ORGANISATION] has a specific agreement. Depending upon the type of service involved, the purpose of the service and what relationship the service has to the [ORGANISATION’s] IdP, one or more pieces of personal data are transferred from [ORGANISATION’s] catalogue and authorization system to the requesting service.
