ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Voluntarily provided diversity information (which may include race, ethnicity, disability status, or gender) is sensitive personal data under multiple frameworks, and its collection and use requires careful legal handling.

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.
