Privacy Policy for Sheet Syncer
Last Updated: 21st of February, 2025
Thank you for using Sheet Syncer (“we”, “our”, or “us”), a Google add-on that facilitates regular imports of MySQL data into Google Sheets. We value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and safeguard it, and your rights regarding your personal data.
1. Overview
Sheet Syncer enables you to connect your MySQL database to Google Sheets, automating the process of fetching data at specified intervals. In doing so, you may provide us with certain database credentials and connection details, which we use solely to perform the service.
2. Information We Collect
-
MySQL Database Credentials
- You may provide your database host, port, username, password, and any other necessary connection parameters.
- These credentials are used strictly for establishing a secure connection to your MySQL database and retrieving the data you specify.
-
Google Account Information
- We access basic account details (e.g., email address) to authenticate you as a valid Google user and to enable our add-on’s functionality within your Google Sheets environment.
-
Usage Data
- We may collect anonymized or aggregated data regarding how you use the add-on (e.g., frequency of imports, connection success/failure logs) to help us improve and troubleshoot our service.
3. How We Use Your Information
-
Data Import Functionality
- We use your MySQL credentials to connect to your database and fetch the data you have chosen to import into Google Sheets.
- We do not access any data beyond what is necessary for the scheduled import tasks.
-
Service Maintenance and Improvements
- We analyze aggregated usage data to enhance the add-on’s performance, reliability, and user experience.
- We may use logs and error reports to identify and resolve technical issues.
-
Security and Compliance
- We monitor connections and maintain access logs to ensure compliance with our security protocols and legal obligations.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
-
Third-Party Services
- We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your database credentials or personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.
- We may use trusted third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, logging services) to assist with the operation and maintenance of our add-on. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.
-
Legal Obligations
- We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests (e.g., subpoenas, court orders).
5. Data Security
We take data security seriously and have implemented robust measures to protect your information:
- Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
- Secure Storage: Database credentials are stored in an encrypted format and accessed only when necessary to perform scheduled imports.
- Access Controls: Strict role-based access ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information on a need-to-know basis.
- Regular Audits: We conduct routine security audits and maintain up-to-date best practices to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data.
6. Data Retention
- Database Credentials: We retain your database connection details only as long as necessary to provide the scheduled import service. If you revoke access or remove the add-on, your credentials are deleted promptly.
- Imported Data: Any data imported into Google Sheets is stored within your Google account. We do not maintain a copy of that data on our servers unless explicitly required for troubleshooting or logs, in which case it is anonymized or deleted as soon as it is no longer needed.
- Usage Logs: Aggregated logs and usage data are retained for as long as needed for analytics, improvements, and security monitoring.
7. Your Rights and Choices
-
Access and Correction
- You can update or remove your database credentials at any time through the add-on’s configuration settings.
- If you believe we hold inaccurate or incomplete information about you, please contact us to request updates.
-
Data Deletion
- You may request the deletion of your credentials or any other personal information by contacting us. Please note that removing your credentials may affect the functionality of the add-on.
-
Consent Withdrawal
- You can withdraw your consent to data processing at any time by uninstalling the add-on or revoking the permissions granted to us. Doing so will terminate your access to the service.
