Article 3
1. The first time a user performs the identity matching process and it is deemed successful pursuant to Article 2(7), the relying party or the party acting on its behalf, or a register relied upon by relying parties or the centralised system shall ensure that the user is informed of the fact that the user has been granted access to the service to which that they requested access to. 2. Where applicable, the user shall also be informed if he or she: (a) has been registered as a new user; (b) has been successfully matched to a single existing user of the relying party or; (c) has been successfully matched to a single existing user in a register relied upon by the relying party or the party acting on its behalf; (d) can reuse completed identity matching processes in the future by choosing one of the following options including the retention time: — storage of an association in a register operated by the relying party or in a register relied upon by the relying party that can be reused in future access requests; — issuance of a dedicated electronic attestation of attributes containing an association that can be reused in future access requests; — alternative options provided by the relying party or the party acting on behalf of the relying party or the centralised system that can be reused in future access requests.
