Privacy Policy
SmartBQ's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Google Workspace APIs are not used to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or ML models.
Our code can only access your data while you're accessing the add-on. We don't sync your data to our own servers and we don't have any direct access to your data.
We use GoogleTM's PropertyService which allows us to attach limited data (such as saved API requests) to the spreadsheet itself and to the user, on GoogleTM servers. We then use Google Apps ScriptTM which runs exclusively on GoogleTM servers. The only data that syncs to our servers is the data entered and sent to PayPal (our payment processor) during the subscription process. When you install the add-on, we also collect your email address and name for licence and email marketing purposes.
We at SmartBQ do not have access to view any of the information stored in your Google SheetsTM. An example of the data collected is that a user with name John Doe and with email john.doe@gmail.com installed the addon on 17.09.2023.
Every app that GoogleTM approves must go through a strict security & privacy approval process, including ours. Google CloudTM Platform/API Trust & Safety Team has approved the SmartBQ add-on for the following scopes, which you can see on the OAuth screen in the screenshot above:
