Individual Information
BibliU requires both email and name to be transmitted to the application through the LMS. This is sometimes referred to as "Public" privacy or "Unrestricted".
We use this information to create a personalised account for the student, this allows them to:
- Set a password in the future (A necessity for native app use)
- Contact us through our in-app support system and receive responses
- Match Single Sign-On accounts with their LMS equivalents.
If you have further queries about BibliU's privacy policy you can read our end-user privacy policy here: Privacy Policy
The attributes used are:
lis_person_contact_email_primary

Context Information
In addition, we store the context of the LMS section in order to segment users by course, which is a requirement for some content licensing arrangements.
