This privacy policy only covers data Okta collects on its own website and marketing activities. If you use Okta to log into your employer's systems, your employer's privacy policy governs that data, not this one.
This analysis describes what Okta's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Most people encounter Okta through workplace login, but this policy explicitly does not cover that context, meaning employees have no direct privacy rights against Okta for their authentication data under this document.
Workers who use Okta-powered single sign-on at work cannot rely on this policy to exercise data rights against Okta; they must look to their employer's privacy policy and the enterprise agreement between their employer and Okta. This limits the privacy recourse available directly from Okta for the most common use of its platform.
