Found my problem.
It was my form, I was using 'display-entity' instead of 'display' for the
field.
e.g
<field name="firstName"><display-entity entity-name="Person"/></field>
Changed it to
<field name="firstName"><display entity-name="Person"/></field>
and now the form works fine I can retrieve the data for the logged in user
from the person entity.
