PlanetScale revised its Privacy Policy to clarify how it handles personal information processed on behalf of enterprise customers. Previously, the policy stated it does not apply to such processing. The updated language now specifies that when PlanetScale acts as a service provider, processor, or business associate, the applicable Data Processing Addendum or Business Associate Agreement governs that processing, while the Privacy Policy continues to govern PlanetScale's own processing as a controller.
