No Cookies, No Tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking services. We serve fonts and images ourselves and embed no third-party content. Your choice of light or dark theme is stored only in your browser (localStorage) and is never sent to us. When you close the “No cookies here” notice, your browser also remembers that in localStorage so it doesn’t show again on every page.

Hosting and Server Logs

This website is delivered through Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). On every request, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data such as your IP address, the time, the page requested, and your browser and operating system, in order to deliver the page and protect it from attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure and reliable delivery (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; transfers to the US rely on this adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR).

Demo Requests, Partner Applications and Email

When you request a demo, apply as a partner, or write to us, we process the details you give us, such as your name, work email, company and message. Forms send these details directly to our own service at polybase.app. We use them only to handle your request and get in touch with you. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering a contract), and otherwise our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We delete the details once they are no longer needed for this and no legal retention duty applies.

When you create an account in the Polybase Service, we process the data needed to provide it: your name, your email address, and the content you and your team store in the service. The legal basis is the contract for using the service (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectify (Art. 16), erase (Art. 17) and restrict the processing of (Art. 18) your data, and to data portability (Art. 20).
