Privacy Policy for Open in Sheets

Effective Date: April 18, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Open in Sheets ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website https://openinsheets.com and the Open in Sheets desktop application (the "App").

1. Information We Collect

a. Google OAuth Information

If you authorize the App to connect with your Google account via OAuth, we collect access tokens necessary to upload your files to your Google Drive. These tokens are securely stored on your local device and are not transmitted to our servers.

b. File Handling

The App may access files you choose to open through it (e.g., CSV, XLSX). These files are uploaded directly to your Google Drive through the Google API, with your permission. We do not collect, view, or store your files on any external servers.

c. Website Analytics

We may use limited analytics tools on openinsheets.com to understand general site usage, such as page visits and traffic sources. No personally identifiable information is collected unless explicitly submitted.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To facilitate the core function of uploading spreadsheets to your Google Sheets account
  • To improve user experience and support performance
  • To communicate necessary updates or issues with the App

3. Data Security

  • Using secure communication protocols (HTTPS, OAuth2)
  • Storing tokens only on your device
  • Never storing file contents or tokens on our servers

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses the Google Drive API for authentication and file uploads. Use of Google APIs is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

5. Your Consent and Control

You may revoke the App’s access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account’s security settings: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

You may uninstall the App at any time. All data (including OAuth tokens) will be removed from your device upon uninstall.

6. Children’s Privacy

Open in Sheets is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
