Data Requests

Since we don't store your personal data on our servers, traditional data access or deletion requests don't apply. All your data is under your direct control.

Data Security

SheetBridge implements the following security measures:

• Secure Authentication: We use Google's OAuth 2.0 for authentication without storing your Google password
• Local Storage Only: All app data is stored locally on your device, minimizing data exposure
• Secure Token Storage: Authentication tokens are stored securely in your device's keychain
• Limited Scope Access: We request only the minimum necessary Google Drive permissions required for the app to function

Children's Privacy

SheetBridge is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. While we do not collect or store personal information on our servers, the app requires a Google account, which has its own age restrictions. Users must comply with Google's terms of service regarding minimum age requirements.

Legal Basis for Processing

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and other regions with similar data protection laws, our legal basis for processing your information is:

• Consent: You provide explicit consent when you authorize SheetBridge to access your Google account
• Legitimate Interests: To provide the file conversion service you requested
• Contract Performance: To deliver the services described in our Terms of Use

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available within the App and on our website. We will notify you of any significant changes through the App or by other means.

Third-Party Services and Compliance

Google API Services

SheetBridge uses Google API Services. By using our App, you are also subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

Google API Services User Data Policy

SheetBridge's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

App Store Information

SheetBridge is distributed through the Apple App Store. Information collected by Apple is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. Since SheetBridge doesn't collect or store personal information on our servers, most CCPA provisions regarding the right to know about and delete personal information collected by businesses do not apply. Your personal information is stored locally on your device or in your Google account, not on our servers.

International Data Transfers

SheetBridge does not transfer your personal data internationally as we do not operate servers or store data outside of your device. Your data remains:

• Locally on your macOS device
• In your Google account (subject to Google's data location policies)
