Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 11, 2024
1. Introduction
Welcome to the Privacy Policy of SheetQuery, a Google Sheets™ Addon developed by SheetQuery. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our addon.
2. Permissions Required
When you use SheetQuery for the first time, you’ll be asked to accept the minimum-required permissions:
- See your primary Google Account email address
- See your personal info, including any personal info you've made publicly available
- View and manage spreadsheets that SheetQuery has been installed in
- Connect to an external service
- Display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications
We use Connect to an external service permission to request data at an external service, specifically for getting a response from AI service.
The Display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications permission is used to show a custom chat-like UI in the sidebar of the Google Sheets™ editor.
SheetQuery does not have access to your Google account or your password. You can review and revoke these permissions by going to Google Account -> Third-party apps with account access -> Manage third-party access.

We automatically collect information about your use of SheetQuery, including but not limited to your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, and the actions you take within the addon.
3.3 Google Sheets™ Data
SheetQuery requires access to your Google Sheets™ to perform its functions. We do not store or transmit the data contained in your Google Sheets outside of what is necessary to provide the service.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
5.1 Third-Party Service Providers
When you use SheetQuery to ask questions about your data, the text of your queries is transmitted to AI service via an API call. The information shared includes only the text of your question and does not contain any personal identifiers unless such information is included in your question itself.
5.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
5.3 Business Transfers
If SheetQuery is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
