Overview
Curity is a Sweden-based European company building authentication and developer tools software. As an EU-headquartered provider, Curity likely operates under GDPR, though EU Alts has not yet independently verified its ownership and hosting facts, so its exposure to the US CLOUD Act isn't confirmed yet — see the Details section below for what's known so far.
Why European teams pick Curity
Teams in Europe consider Curity when they want a authentication provider that bills in EUR and keeps customer data under Sweden law. Its EU headquarters is a good sign compared with Auth0 and Okta, but EU Alts hasn't yet verified Curity's ownership and hosting facts — check back once verification is complete.

What does Curity do?
Curity is swedish identity and api access platform. oauth and openid connect infrastructure for organisations where security and control are non-negotiable. It is listed under authentication and developer tools on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European authentication tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from Auth0 and Okta.
Is Curity a good European authentication alternative?
Curity is a fit for European businesses evaluating authentication options where data residency and GDPR alignment matter — typical buyers include EU-based SaaS teams, public-sector projects, regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal), and any organisation that needs to demonstrate that customer data does not leave the EU. It also overlaps with developer tools use cases.
Is Curity GDPR compliant?
Curity is headquartered in Sweden and falls under EU jurisdiction, so it likely processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Sweden's data protection authority, the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY). EU Alts has not yet independently verified Curity's ownership structure or hosting location, so we can't yet confirm its exposure to the US CLOUD Act the way we can for verified entries.
How do teams switch from Auth0 to Curity?
Most teams considering a move from Auth0 and Okta to Curity are drawn to its EU headquarters and authentication workflow fit. EU Alts hasn't yet verified Curity's ownership and hosting facts, so treat any CLOUD Act or Schrems II conclusions as provisional until verification is complete. Plan a migration in stages regardless: export your data from the US incumbent, pilot Curity with a small team, then move the rest once integration coverage is confirmed.
