Final answer:

Cognito Identity does not receive or store confidential information about users from identity providers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognito Identity is an AWS service that allows you to manage user access to your applications. It acts as an Identity Provider (IdP) and federates with other IdPs. When a user logs in using their credentials from one of these IdPs, Cognito Identity receives temporary credentials that grant access to AWS services based on the permissions you have defined.

Cognito Identity does not store or have access to confidential information about your users from the identity providers. It only provides a way for users to authenticate and gain access to AWS resources based on your application's authentication requirements.

So, the answer to your question is no, Cognito Identity does not receive or store confidential information about your users from the identity providers.
