# Using user data in LIFF apps and servers
When a user launches the LIFF app in a LIFF browser or a user launches the LIFF app in an external browser by logging in with the liff.init() method, the LIFF app can get the user's profile (user ID, display name, profile image, and email address).
If your LIFF app doesn't properly handle this user data, it will be vulnerable to spoofing and other types of attacks.
This page describes how to securely use the information of the user who opened the LIFF app in the LIFF app or server.
# Use user data on server
To use the user data on the server, send the ID token or access token from the LIFF app to the server. The server can safely retrieve the user's profile by sending the token sent by the LIFF app to the LINE Platform.
Don't send the details of the user profile obtained with liff.getDecodedIDToken() and liff.getProfile() to the server from the LIFF app.
The LIFF SDK verifies ID tokens and access tokens obtained from the LINE Platform. You can trust the tokens obtained with liff.getIDToken() and liff.getAccessToken().
# Send user ID token to get user data
When you send the ID token obtained by liff.getIDToken() to the server, the server verifies the ID token and POST /oauth2/v2.1/verify can be used to securely get the user's profile information.
# Send access token to get user data
When you send the access token retrieved from liff.getAccessToken() to the server, the server will verify the validity of the token (GET /oauth2/v2.1/verify) and also verifies the channel ID and the expiration date of the access token so the server can securely get the user's profile information (GET /v2/profile).
# Use user data in LIFF app
Use the user's profile information obtained from liff.getDecodedIDToken() or liff.getProfile().
Don't send the details of the user profile obtained with liff.getDecodedIDToken() and liff.getProfile() to the server from the LIFF app.
