Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

PlanetScale's privacy policy explains how it and its partners collect and use your data, including sharing it with advertising companies like Google to show you ads on other platforms. PlanetScale does not sell your personal information, and you can limit how your data is used for interest-based advertising by clicking 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' in the website footer or by adjusting settings in its Cookie Policy. The Services are not intended for children under 16, and if you have a privacy complaint that PlanetScale cannot resolve, you can escalate it to VeraSafe for free and, as a last resort, to binding arbitration.

Analysis

This privacy policy establishes PlanetScale's practices for collecting, using, sharing, and retaining personal information in connection with its Services. PlanetScale, its service providers, and advertising partners may automatically log and combine data about users, their devices, and their activity over time, and PlanetScale may share that data with third-party advertising companies to facilitate targeted and lookalike advertising on external platforms. PlanetScale commits that it does not sell personal information, retains personal information only as long as necessary where applicable law requires it, and maintains cross-border transfer safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Users are afforded a concrete opt-out mechanism for interest-based advertising sharing, and dispute resolution escalates through VeraSafe and, as a last resort, binding arbitration via the Data Privacy Framework Panel. PlanetScale bears default liability for third-party Data Privacy Framework violations unless it demonstrates it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

PlanetScale does not sell your personal information, and it retains your data only as long as necessary where law requires. You can limit the sharing of your personal information for interest-based advertising by clicking 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' in the website footer.

1 important change detected

2 versions captured · Latest change detected by ConductAtlas: July 2026

What changed 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.
Why this matters The updated policy clarifies that when PlanetScale processes personal information on behalf of enterprise customers as a service provider, processor, or business associate, that processing is governed by a separate Data Processing Addendum or Business Associate Agreement rather than this Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy continues to apply to PlanetScale's own processing of personal information as a controller. This is a clarification of scope rather than a change to how data is handled.
