ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

EU, UK, and Swiss users' personal data is transferred to and processed in the United States under this framework — and US national security law can override your privacy rights in certain circumstances.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

PlanetScale collects a broad range of personal data including identifiers, device data, online activity, and behavioral inferences, and shares this with advertising partners for interest-based targeting across the web. EU and UK users benefit from formal data representative appointments and cross-border transfer safeguards, while California residents have explicit opt-out rights for advertising data sharing. You can opt out of interest-based advertising data sharing by clicking 'Do Not Share My Personal Information' in the footer of the PlanetScale website.
