What happens to my data when I create an EPO account?

Okta's CIAM system uses the following personal data to authenticate users:

  • name
  • preferred language
  • email address
  • username
  • password
  • phone number
  • connection/localisation information

The EPO manages this data, ensuring it is not used for automated decision-making or profiling and is not transferred to non-authorised EPO staff. For more details, see the data protection statement.
