What information we collect and how we use it

Account and Profile Information

When you sign up, create a profile, set your email preferences, or pay for your subscription, Gudu software collects your email address. We use this information to correctly identify you, communicate with you, and provide you with customer support. We also use this contact information for accounting and administrative purposes, for transactional emails, including app and billing notifications, and to notify you about new features, releases, blog posts, and discounts.

User-Created Content

As you work on your data lineage analysis, Gudu software stores, and maintains read-only access to the content you create, send, receive, and share. This includes any database metadata and SQL Script you upload or import to SQLFlow. We use this information to troubleshoot and/or diagnose any issues that may arise as you work on your analysis.

If you log into SQLFlow with a social networking credential, such as with your Facebook or Google account, we will ask permission to access basic information from that account, such as your name and email address. You can stop sharing that information with us at any time by removing SQLFlow’s access to that account.

Device Information and Log Data

We collect information about the type of device you use to access Gudu software, as well as your device settings, operating system, browser information, connection type, IP address, and the URLs of referring pages. Additionally, we log the date and time you access our services and any error or crash data.

We use device and location information to optimize your Gudu software display and performance, provide accurate billing information, understand user demographics, and improve overall user experience. Your log data helps us troubleshoot errors, analyze performance, resolve reliability issues, perform security audits, and investigate potential service fraud or abuse.

Payment Information

Customers that purchase a paid Gudu software subscription provide us, or our payment processors, with billing details such as credit or debit card information, banking information, and billing addresses. When you purchase a subscription through one of our payment processors, we only receive billing address information about your card. Gudu software does not receive any information related to your card number, expiration date, and card security code. We use your payment information to fulfill, track, and manage your subscription.
