Auth0's privacy policy was updated on July 3, 2026, with 263 sentences modified, 3 added, and 2 removed. The primary substantive changes clarify that Okta customers, not Okta, control whether users receive account access to the identity service, and that Okta operates as a processor on behalf of customers who control personal data. A new example states that obtaining Okta Certifications from the Learning Hub is included in scenarios where Okta acts as a processor. The remaining changes appear to be minor wording adjustments and formatting corrections.
The updated policy clarifies that Okta's customers, not Okta itself, make the decision about whether to provide users with account access to the identity cloud service. This reinforces that Okta operates as a data processor on behalf of customers who control personal data, rather than as an independent controller. The policy adds that obtaining certifications from Okta's Learning Hub is an example of a scenario where Okta acts as a processor. These are clarifications of Okta's operational role, not changes to data handling practices.
Okta explicitly states it operates as a data processor on behalf of customers, who control personal data and account access decisions.
