Personal information means information about you, like on your:

A Digital ID will keep your information private.

Private means the service you show your Digital ID to cannot get a copy of your ID documents.

Your Digital ID will ask for your permission before it shares your information with services.

If you say yes, the Digital ID will only share the information that a service needs to know.
