About the Association and Foundation SSO
Association and Foundation SSO is a secure Single Sign-On (SSO) service that enables users to access participating applications and services using credentials from trusted external identity providers.
Rather than requiring separate usernames and passwords for each application, Association and Foundation SSO allows users to authenticate through supported identity providers and securely access authorized services using a single account. The specific identity providers available may change over time as authentication technologies and business requirements evolve.
Purpose
The purpose of Association and Foundation SSO is to provide a secure, convenient, and centralized authentication experience for users accessing connected applications and services.
Association and Foundation SSO verifies a user's identity and provides authentication services to participating applications. It is not intended to provide social networking, advertising, or marketing services.
Information Collection and Usage
When a user signs in through Association and Foundation SSO, we may receive information from the identity provider selected by the user. Depending on the provider and permissions granted, this information may include:
- Name
- Email address
- Unique account identifier
- Basic profile information needed for authentication
We only collect and use information necessary to authenticate users, manage accounts, provide access to authorized services, and maintain security.
Information obtained through Association and Foundation SSO may be used to:
- Verify user identity
- Create and manage user accounts
- Enable access to authorized applications and services
- Maintain security and prevent unauthorized access
- Troubleshoot authentication issues
- Meet legal, regulatory, and operational requirements
Information may be shared only when necessary to operate connected services, fulfill legal obligations, protect system security, or support authorized business operations.
Retention, Security and Third-Parties
Data Retention and Security
Information is retained only as long as necessary to provide authentication services, maintain system security, satisfy legal requirements, and support legitimate operational needs.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
Third-Party Identity Providers
Association and Foundation SSO may integrate with third-party identity providers to authenticate users. Users who choose to sign in through an external provider are also subject to that provider's terms, policies, and privacy practices.
The identity providers available through AOG B2C LOGIN may change over time without affecting the purpose of the service.
