SQL Mirror is a small, independent site run by one person. It exists to route you to the official MySQL downloads on Oracle's servers. This page explains exactly what it records and what it does not.

What SQL Mirror collects

When you view a page or click a download, the server logs a minimal, aggregate record so the operator can see how many people use the site:

• The page or download requested, and a timestamp.
• Your country and timezone, derived from your IP address at request time.
• Your browser's user-agent string and preferred language.

This is used only to produce aggregate counts (total visits, total downloads, and a breakdown by country). It is not sold, shared, or used to build a profile of you.

Raw request logs are retained for 90 days and then deleted; only the anonymous aggregate counts are kept longer. The site is operated by an individual (Sam). If you are in the EU or California and want your data removed, email the address below and it will be deleted.

What SQL Mirror does not do

• No cookies are set, and there is no login or account.
• No third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts run — the site loads no third-party origins at all.
• Your IP address is used to look up country and timezone at request time; the full address is not put on public display.
• No installers are hosted here — every download button redirects to Oracle's official dev.mysql.com servers, whose own privacy terms then apply.
