# User properties

> Learn about user properties

User properties are data attributes that a user consents to share during the verification process. These can include basic identity
details like name, address, and phone number, as well as community-specific information such as military service dates or student
graduation status.

Policies determine which properties are requested and returned to your application after verification, ensuring you receive only
the information you are authorized to access.

## Default properties

The following properties are enabled by default for all policies:

* Email
* Unique identifier (UUID)
* First name
* Last name
* Postal code

## Configurable properties

The following attributes can be configured for use in all identity policies:

* `DISPLAY_DROPDOWN_FOR_GROUP_SELECTION`
* `DISPLAY_USER_PROPERTIES_BASED_ON_SELECTION`

> **Note**

> To configure additional user properties or customize your API response, contact your IDMe solution consultant or email

## Data minimization

Work with your IDMe account team to ensure that your application only receives the user data it truly needs. Attributes are considered relevant when there
is a clear business case for collecting and using them in downstream processes.

Minimizing the amount of unnecessary data reduces security risk and ensures compliance with data handling best practices.
