Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026. This explains what data RowDex collects, why, and what never leaves your device.
1. What we collect
Account data: your email address, and for paid plans, billing details handled entirely by Paddle (we never see or store your card number). Product usage: basic, anonymized telemetry such as app version and OS, used to improve reliability. Support: anything you send us by email.
- Email address, for account access and billing receipts
- Subscription status and plan, to determine feature access
- Device activation count, to enforce your plan's device limit
- Basic crash and version telemetry, not tied to your database content
2. What we never collect
Your database connection credentials (hostnames, usernames, passwords, connection strings) are stored only in your operating system's native secure keychain (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux) and never leave your device or reach our servers.
The data inside your databases — rows, documents, queue jobs — is never transmitted to us. Query results stay local to your machine for the length of your session.
3. The optional AI assistant
If you enable the AI assistant, it uses your own OpenAI API key, which you provide and which is stored locally. Prompts you send to draft SQL are sent directly from your device to OpenAI under your own OpenAI account and usage terms — not routed through or logged by RowDex. The assistant only drafts queries; it never runs them automatically.
4. Payment data
Paddle, our Merchant of Record, processes and stores your payment details under its own privacy policy, available at paddle.com/legal/privacy. We receive only the minimum information needed to grant access to your plan: your email, subscription status, and a Paddle customer reference.
5. How we use your data
To operate your account, grant and enforce plan entitlements, process billing through Paddle, respond to support requests, and send essential account or billing emails. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
6. Data retention and deletion
We retain account and billing records for as long as your account is active and as needed to meet tax and accounting obligations. To request deletion of your account data, email support@rowdex.app — we'll confirm what's deleted and what we're required to retain.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Contact support@rowdex.app to exercise any of these rights.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as RowDex evolves. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date above.
