Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
Enterprise customers All users

PlanetScale revised how its Privacy Policy applies to enterprise customer data. Previously, the policy stated it does not govern data processed on behalf of enterprise customers. The updated language now specifies that such processing is governed by a Data Processing Addendum or Business Associate Agreement between the parties, and clarifies that the Privacy Policy continues to govern PlanetScale's processing of personal information it controls.

What this means for you

The updated terms clarify that PlanetScale's Privacy Policy continues to govern personal information it processes as a controller. For enterprise customers, data processing is explicitly governed by separate Data Processing Addendum or Business Associate Agreements rather than this Privacy Policy. This is a clarification of existing practice rather than a material operational change.

Key Clauses Affected

Privacy Policy scope clarification

Explicitly distinguishes between data governed by Privacy Policy (data PlanetScale controls) and data governed by DPAs/BAAs (enterprise customer data processed as service provider or processor).
