What it is

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.
