Data processing
All data collected and processed by CONNECT are used exclusively for authenticating you to the participating scholarly publishing platforms and services you have authorized to access your profile.
Connecting a user profile with an additional scholarly publishing platform or service has the same effect as creating a new account for that platform or service. The main difference is that you don't have to set up an account from scratch and worry about maintaining multiple credentials. You only have to connect it to your existing profile.
