Privacy Policy

Play SQL is located in France, Europe, which is famous for protecting the consumer's rights and privacy. On the other hand we want to provide a good service to customers, and that means understanding how features are used.

CNIL

CNIL is the French regulatory body which ensures that personal data privacy laws are dutifully applied.

The following policy is covered by the norm NS-48 (see details) and the file has been declared to CNIL. For any enquiry, the contact person is Adrien Ragot (see details below).

• Web Analytics: Information we gather about viewers of our websites, directly or through an analytics service (Google Analytics).
• Information you provide through the support, either by email or through a website (e.g. Atlassian Answers).

Who accesses data

• The founder, Adrien Ragot,

• Temporary contractors, hired for a specific time or project.

There are special situations where external people may have access to the data:

• In the situation where the company or one product is sold to a new owner: We sign a mutual NDA before the negotiation. Upon ownership transfer, the new owner takes responsibility for respecting the current licenses and privacy policy.
