If your browser sends a 'Do Not Track' signal, PlanetScale ignores it and will continue to collect and process your data as described in the policy.
This analysis describes what PlanetScale's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Users who rely on browser-level Do Not Track settings as a privacy control should be aware that this signal has no effect on PlanetScale's data collection practices.
Interpretive note: The policy addresses Do Not Track but does not explicitly address Global Privacy Control (GPC); the CPRA compliance status for GPC signals cannot be confirmed from this document alone.
Browser Do Not Track settings will not limit PlanetScale's data collection or sharing practices; users who want to limit tracking should instead use the Cookie Policy opt-out mechanism or the 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' footer link.

"We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" or similar signals. To find out more about "Do Not Track," please visit allaboutdnt.com.— Excerpt from PlanetScale's PlanetScale Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Do Not Track is not currently mandated by any major US federal law, and the FTC's 2012 recommendation for a universal DNT mechanism was never legislated. However, the California Consumer Privacy Act and its CPRA amendment established the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a recognized opt-out signal that covered businesses must honor; the policy's non-response statement does not address GPC specifically, which may create a compliance gap for California users. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The failure to honor DNT is not itself a legal violation under current federal law, but the absence of explicit GPC support may be a CPRA compliance issue if California users are served and GPC signals are ignored. The CPRA requires businesses to treat a user-enabled GPC as a valid opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California presents the primary jurisdiction flag given GPC requirements under CPRA. Colorado, Connecticut, and other US states with comprehensive privacy laws have also adopted GPC as a recognized opt-out signal, creating broader potential exposure as state privacy laws proliferate. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: This provision is primarily a consumer-facing disclosure rather than a contract term. However, enterprise customers deploying PlanetScale as part of a stack serving California or other covered state users may need to assess whether downstream GPC compliance obligations are being met at the platform level. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify whether PlanetScale's technical infrastructure honors GPC signals for California users, which is a distinct and legally stronger requirement than responding to DNT. If GPC is not currently honored, a remediation plan should be scoped.
