Applicability of Google Privacy Policy

[Robert Howe]

I'm working on introducing Confluence to a defence organisation. One of the challenges that I have met concerns Atlassian's privacy policy. Specifically, in the Confluence/JIRA login, the following statements appear:

The challenge is the claim that Google's privacy policy applies to the Atlassian site, which is, of course, unacceptable to a defence organisation. Why is the Google privacy policy present in the Atlassian login dialog and how to do we know the limitations of its applicability?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Robert Howe and welcome to the Community.

If you click Privacy Policy next to User Notice, you land here:

https://www.atlassian.com/legal/privacy-policy

This refers to Google when you use your Google account to sign into Atlassian and then for using specific third party services.

(I wonder if Atlassian uses Google for their Atlassian account. But you can deploy SAML SSO and 2FA in your Atlassian org.)
