Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Sheets Geocoder collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit our website or use our Google Sheets add-on. Sheets Geocoder is not directed to children under 13.

Information we collect

We process the following categories of information:

• Google account information: your Google account identifier and email address, used to sign you in and associate your allowance and subscription with the correct account.
• Usage and account records: your plan, subscription status, lifetime geocode allowance, successful or failed request counts, and related operational records.
• Selected spreadsheet data: only the addresses or latitude and longitude cells you direct the add-on to process, plus the resulting geocoding fields written to your sheet.
• Billing information: Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, plan, billing status, and transaction records. Stripe collects and processes your payment-card details on its hosted pages; Sheets Geocoder does not store complete card numbers.
• Technical information: essential hosting, authentication, billing, and security logs, which may include an IP address, browser type, request time, and diagnostic information.

How we use information

We use this information to authenticate users, provide forward and reverse geocoding, write requested results to the current spreadsheet, enforce the one-time free allowance, administer subscriptions, prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, support users, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal information or Google user data, and we do not use it for advertising, credit decisions, or lending.

Google user data and spreadsheet access

Sheets Geocoder requests access to the current Google Sheet and your Google account email. It does not request access to every spreadsheet in your account. Only cells you select for a geocoding job are processed. Those addresses or coordinate pairs are sent through Google Apps Script to Google's geocoding service and the results are written back to your sheet. Sheets Geocoder does not retain those selected inputs or geocoding results in its Supabase account database after the job is processed.

Sheets Geocoder's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Human access to Google user data is limited to cases where you give permission, it is necessary for security or troubleshooting, or it is required by law.

Service providers and sharing

We share information only as needed to operate Sheets Geocoder: Google provides sign-in, Sheets, Apps Script, and geocoding services; Supabase provides authentication, account, usage, and subscription infrastructure; Stripe provides hosted checkout, payment processing, invoicing, and billing management; and Vercel hosts the website. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a business transaction where legally permitted and subject to required notice or consent.

Cookies

We use essential authentication cookies to keep you signed in and to protect account sessions. We do not currently use advertising cookies. Your browser can block cookies, but sign-in and account features may not work correctly without essential cookies.

Retention

Account, usage, subscription, and security records are retained while your account is active and for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, maintain financial records, and meet legal obligations. Selected address inputs and geocoding results are not retained in the Sheets Geocoder account database after processing. Deletion requests may not cover records we must retain for legal, accounting, security, or fraud-prevention reasons.

Security and international processing

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Our providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their contractual and legal safeguards.

Your choices and requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an objection to certain processing. You can disconnect Sheets Geocoder from your Google account through your Google account permissions. To make a privacy or account-deletion request, email us from the address associated with your account. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy here with a new last-updated date and provide additional notice when required.
