Privacy Policy
Legal notice on the management, processing and protection of data within the application.
This Privacy Policy describes how SQL Studio (hereinafter, "the Application") operates. In designing this database management tool, we adopted the principle of Privacy by Design. The purpose of this document is to provide absolute transparency about the technical permissions requested on your device and the handling of your access credentials.
No Data Collection Principle
SQL Studio is a direct-connection client. We do not collect, transmit, intercept, or store any personal data, SQL query, database schema, or activity log on external servers. All communication occurs exclusively and bidirectionally between your mobile device and the SQL Server instances you choose to connect to.
Local Storage and Management of Credentials
To facilitate technical usability, the Application offers a "Remember password" feature in the Connection Manager. Use of this feature is governed by the following technical rules:
- Credentials (username, password, and host details) are stored only in the device's local, secure storage (via Android SharedPreferences).
- Authentication data is encoded to prevent it from being read in plain text by other applications.
- Dev Binary X has no access, under any circumstance, to these credentials.
- You can delete these credentials at any time by clearing the app's data from your Android system settings, or by removing the connection from within the Application itself.
Technical Justification of Android Permissions
To strictly comply with Google Play policies, we detail below the technical, operational purpose of each permission requested from the operating system:
- Network and Internet Access (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): critical, mandatory permissions used to initialize network sockets and establish a remote connection via JDBC/jTDS to your SQL Server servers. Without this permission, the Application has no functional purpose.
- Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): required on Android 13+ devices. Used exclusively to deliver local alerts (push notifications generated on-device) that inform you when a SQL Agent Job running in the background has finished.
- Storage (read/write): required to invoke the operating system's file picker, allowing you to open/save local .sql scripts, as well as export Results Grid output to local formats such as CSV or Excel.
Analytics and Third-Party Services
To guarantee an environment free of external auditing, SQL Studio does not integrate any third-party usage-analytics SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, or advertising trackers). No telemetry is generated about which menu options you use or how much time you spend inside the Application.
Connection Security
The security of data in transit depends on your own SQL server's network configuration. The Application supports validation via the Trust Server Certificate parameter. We recommend database administrators ensure production instances require encrypted connections, which the Application honors at the protocol level.
Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as new technical features are added to SQL Studio (for example, support for new protocols). Any modification will be announced through an Application update on the Google Play Store, along with a change to the effective date at the top of this document.
