We collect minimal data necessary to provide our services:

- Perform spreadsheet operations (insert, find, update) as requested by users.
- Enhance security and prevent unauthorized access.
- Analyze usage trends to improve performance.
3. Google API Services & Permissions
We request access to your Google Sheets through the Google API services under the following scope:
- spreadsheets scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets): This allows us to read, insert, and update spreadsheet data based on user requests.
- Google Sign-In (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile): This is used for authentication only.
We do not access, modify, or share any Google Sheets data without your explicit request via API calls.
