Privacy Policy
Enterprise-friendly by design: audit locally, keep control, and share only what you choose.
Effective date: 30 December 2025
1) Who we are
SheetSage (“we”, “us”) is a Google Sheets add-on that scans a workbook for risky formula patterns and provides safer fixes with rollback. For privacy questions, contact privacy@sheetsage.co.
2) Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the SheetSage add-on, and our website/documentation. It does not govern Google’s handling of your data inside Google Workspace. Your use of Google Sheets, Drive, and Apps Script is subject to Google’s own terms and privacy policies.
3) Roles (enterprise context)
In most enterprise deployments, you (or your organization) are the Data Controller for workbook content, and SheetSage acts as a Data Processor / Service Provider to provide the add-on’s functionality. If your procurement process requires it, we can provide a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) upon request.
4) What SheetSage processes
A) Workbook content (processed locally)
To scan and fix issues, SheetSage may read workbook formulas and ranges and may write fixes you initiate. Processing happens inside your Google environment.
- SheetSage scans formulas to evaluate rules (e.g., lookup hygiene, anchoring, and hardcoded constants).
- Some checks intentionally scan A1 formulas (not R1C1) to reduce false positives; R1C1 is used primarily to cluster “copied-down” patterns.
- SheetSage does not require reading the entire workbook’s values to operate; it focuses on formulas and the minimum context needed to apply the selected fix.
B) Snapshots & restore (stored in your workbook)
When you apply a fix, SheetSage creates a restorable snapshot in a hidden sheet (e.g., SheetSage_SNAPSHOT) so you can revert changes if needed. Snapshots live in the workbook, under your Google access controls.
C) Local-only metrics (privacy-first)
SheetSage may maintain best-effort product metrics designed to stay local:
- Per-user metrics in Apps Script User Properties
- Workbook-level adoption metrics in Apps Script Document Properties
- No formulas, sheet names, or cell addresses are stored as metrics.
- Nothing is sent anywhere by default; data only leaves if you copy/export a summary or share it with support.
D) Support data (only if you choose to share)
If you contact support, we’ll process what you send us (e.g., your email, message content, screenshots, logs, or sample formulas). We use it only to resolve your request and improve reliability.
5) What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not transmit your spreadsheet’s cell values or formulas to our servers by default.
- We do not run advertising-based profiling on your workbook content.
6) Subprocessors & third parties
SheetSage runs on Google Workspace and Apps Script infrastructure. Google is a core platform provider for the add-on. If we introduce additional subprocessors (e.g., for billing, support, or error monitoring), we will publish an up-to-date list and update this Policy as required.
7) Data retention
- Workbook content: processed locally; not stored on our servers by default.
- Snapshots: stored in your workbook and retained according to your workbook’s lifecycle and your Google policies.
- Support data: retained only as long as necessary to resolve issues and meet legal/operational requirements (typically as needed).
8) Security
We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information we process (e.g., access controls for support systems). Workbooks and snapshots remain protected by your Google account and Workspace controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to maintain appropriate safeguards.
9) Your choices & controls
- You can uninstall SheetSage at any time.
- You can review and revoke permissions in your Google account settings.
- You control whether to share any summaries/logs with support.
10) International transfers
If support data is processed outside your country, we will take steps to apply appropriate safeguards where required (e.g., contractual protections).
11) Your privacy rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information. To submit a request, contact privacy@sheetsage.co. We may need to verify your identity.
12) Changes to this policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the effective date above. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required.
