Rights Orchestration
Fulfills Right to Access and Right to Delete against Snowflake through the same workflow used for every other connected system.
Ketch and Snowflake
Find where personal data lives inside a cloud data warehouse, and fulfill deletion requests against it directly, scoped to exactly the warehouse, database, and role an organization chooses.
About Snowflake
Snowflake consolidates data from across an organization for analytics at scale, often across multiple warehouses, databases, and schemas serving different teams. A privacy integration connecting to Snowflake needs to be scoped precisely, not just granted broad account access, since the same account can span very different sensitivity levels across its structure.
Ketch connects to Snowflake through a Ketch Transponder with that precision built in.
Capabilities
How Ketch works with Snowflake
The Ketch Snowflake integration covers Discovery and Rights Orchestration for both Right to Access and Right to Delete.
Discovery
Scans Snowflake for personal data using the connected credentials. Authentication uses a Programmatic Access Token (PAT) tied to a dedicated service user, rather than a shared password. The connection can be scoped to a specific warehouse, database, and schema; left blank, discovery spans everything the connected service role can access, so an organization can choose either broad or narrow scope depending on its needs. Access is governed through a dedicated service role, which determines what the connection can actually see and do.
With Ketch, teams can
- Grant rights-execution privileges separately from Discovery through the connected service role, deciding independently whether and when to authorize direct deletion and update
- Authenticate using a Programmatic Access Token rather than a shared password, consistent with Snowflake's own recommended service-account practices
The gap
The problem this integration solves
A data warehouse spanning multiple warehouses, databases, and schemas needs a privacy integration that can be scoped precisely, not granted broad account-wide access by default:
01. A connection granted broad access across every warehouse and database in an account creates more exposure than most privacy use cases actually need
02. Manually tracking which Snowflake tables hold personal data across a growing warehouse doesn't scale
03. Fulfilling a deletion request against a data warehouse has historically meant a manual query, slow and hard to prove complete
Ketch resolves this by supporting explicit warehouse, database, and schema scoping alongside a dedicated service role, so an organization controls precisely how broad or narrow the connection's reach is.
Why Ketch
Why teams choose Ketch for Snowflake privacy compliance
Permissioning infrastructure that governs Snowflake the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.
Authenticated through a Programmatic Access Token
A PAT tied to a dedicated service user, not a shared password, matching Snowflake's own recommended practices.
Backed by enforcement precedent
Regulators increasingly expect businesses to prove technical enforcement, not just describe it on paper, the same underlying expectation that applies to knowing what personal data a warehouse holds.
