Most analytics tools require a Data Processing Agreement because they process your data on their servers. PondPilot doesn’t process your data at all — your browser does.
No Server = No Data Processor
Under GDPR, when you send personal data to a third-party service for processing, that service is a “data processor” and you need a DPA. PondPilot has no server that touches your data. DuckDB runs as WebAssembly in your browser tab. Your files, your queries, your results — all local.
No DPA needed. No sub-processor list to audit. No data residency questions.
Analyze PII Without the Risk
Need to analyze a CSV of customer records to debug an issue? Check user data for a DSAR (Data Subject Access Request)? With cloud tools, that means uploading personal data to yet another vendor. With PondPilot, that data stays on your machine.
SELECT * FROM users.csv
WHERE email = 'specific.user@example.com';
Run the query, find what you need, close the tab. No trace on any server.
Open Source and Auditable
Don’t take our word for the privacy claims. PondPilot is open source. Your security team can audit the code, verify there’s no telemetry, and confirm the architecture matches the claims.
No Cookies, No Tracking
PondPilot uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for basic page view counts on the landing page. The app itself collects nothing. No cookies, no session tracking, no usage analytics.
For Teams in Regulated Industries
Healthcare, finance, legal, government — if your compliance team scrutinizes every tool that touches data, PondPilot is the easiest approval you’ll ever get. There’s nothing to approve because no data leaves the browser.
