# Privacy Considerations
323+
324+
In addition to the privacy considerations outlined in {{RFC8693}} and {{RFC7523}}, the following items are relevant to this specification:
325+
326+
OAuth federation involves the exchange of tokens and claims between disparate trust domains.
327+
If excessive or unnecessary user data is included in these tokens, it may lead to unintended privacy consequences.
328+
As noted in {{RFC8693}} and {{RFC7523}}, deployments should determine the minimum amount of information necessary to complete the exchange and ensure that only that information is included in the token.
329+
330+
Inconsistent user privacy practices within OAuth federation can result from varying interpretations and implementations of the protocol across different domains.
331+
This inconsistency can lead to a lack of transparency and user control over what data is shared and with whom.
332+
To mitigate this, federation trust relationships between domains must be carefully established and maintained with user privacy in mind.
333+
This includes verifying that privacy policies are aligned across trust domains and clearly define how user data is collected, used, and protected.
