When a user posts any content to the Site, including reviews, comments, testimonials, pictures, or documents, the agreement grants Okta an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, adapt, create derivative works from, and sublicense that content for any purpose, in any medium, without additional compensation to the user.

This provision asserts that the license granted over submitted content survives the user relationship and cannot be revoked, covering derivative works and sublicensing to affiliates and third-party suppliers. Compliance teams should evaluate whether this irrevocable perpetual license scope interacts with data subject rights under GDPR or CCPA deletion request obligations, as the document does not address how these rights would be reconciled with the perpetual license assertion.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the irrevocable perpetual license against GDPR Article 17 deletion requests and CCPA deletion rights depends on regulatory interpretation and jurisdiction-specific enforcement context.
The agreement requires users who post any content to the Site to grant Okta rights over that content that persist indefinitely, including the right to create derivative works and sublicense to affiliates and suppliers, without any additional compensation. This provision applies to testimonials, reviews, comments, pictures, and documents submitted through the Site.
