Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Stackcommander, we believe your database data is sensitive and private. This Privacy Policy explains how SqlMax handles your data. The short version is: we don't see your data. SqlMax is a desktop application that connects directly from your Mac to your databases.

2. Data Collection & Storage

Local Data

SqlMax stores the following information strictly locally on your device using macOS secure storage and sandboxing mechanisms:

• Database connection details (Hosts, Ports, Usernames)
• Saved SQL queries and scripts
• Query history and logs
• Application preferences and workspace configurations
• Database diagrams and dashboard layouts

Credentials Security

Your database passwords, SSH private keys, and API tokens are stored securely in the macOS Keychain. We do not have access to these credentials, and they are never transmitted to our servers.

No Cloud Sync

SqlMax does not automatically sync your database connections or data to any cloud service. If you choose to save SQL files to a cloud-synced folder (like iCloud Drive or Dropbox), that synchronization is handled by the respective service, not by SqlMax.

3. AI Features & Third-Party Services

SqlMax includes AI-assisted features (Chat, IntelliSense, Code Generation) that may interact with third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) if you choose to use them.

• On-Demand Only: Data is only sent to AI providers when you explicitly trigger an AI feature (e.g., asking a question in Chat or requesting code generation).
• Context Awareness: To provide relevant answers, SqlMax may send schema information (table names, column names) to the AI provider.
• User Control: You configure which AI provider to use and provide your own API keys. Usage is subject to the privacy policy of the selected AI provider.
• Data Privacy: We do not act as a middleman. Requests are sent directly from your device to the AI provider's API. We do not log or store your AI prompts or responses.

4. Analytics & Telemetry

SqlMax does not collect behavioral analytics or usage tracking data. We do not track which databases you connect to or inspect your queries.

Crash Reporting: If the application crashes, anonymous crash logs may be sent to Apple (and subsequently to us) via Apple's standard TestFlight or App Store crash reporting services, provided you have opted in to share analytics with developers in your macOS system settings.

5. Network Communications

SqlMax makes network connections only for the following purposes:

• Database Connections: Connecting directly to your defined database servers.
• AI Services: Connecting to the API endpoints of your configured AI providers (only when used).
• Licensing: Verifying app license status with the Mac App Store.

6. Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, there is no data for us to provide, modify, or delete upon request. You have full control over the data stored on your local device and can delete it by removing connections or uninstalling the application.
