ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Identification (information)

Identification (information) is information that helps us to recognize who you are. It could be your name, address, date of birth, and other pieces of personal information. It helps us show that you are who you say you are. For example, if you get a library card you might have to give the librarian your name and address to prove that you are you and not someone else.
