Privacy Policy Overview

Introduction

This privacy policy has been established to inform users who are concerned about how their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is managed online. PII, as per US privacy laws and information security protocols, is data that can be used independently or in conjunction with other information to identify, contact, or locate an individual, or to identify a person within a specific context. Please review our privacy policy to understand how we collect, use, safeguard, or otherwise manage your Personally Identifiable Information through our website.

Access to Google User Data

CortexSheetAI accesses your Google user data via OAuth 2.0 upon your consent. We use the following Google APIs:

  • Spreadsheets (Current Only): Access is limited to the spreadsheet you are currently using to enhance functionality without accessing other documents.
  • External Requests: Allows us to send requests to external services like OpenAI to integrate additional features within your sheets.
  • User Interface Customization: We enhance the user interface in Google Sheets to improve usability.
  • User Information: We store your email to manage your account and ensure secure and personalized service.

Data is stored securely on European servers and is not shared with third parties unless required by law.

Our application complies with Google's API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.

Personal Information Collection

When users engage with our Google Sheets add-on, website, or app, we transfer each request to OpenAI, through their API. OpenAI has indicated that they do not utilize data submitted via their API for training their AI models, and they retain data for 30 days solely for abuse and misuse monitoring before deleting it.

Our application accesses Google user data by signing in through the OAuth 2.0 portal. Specifically, we store your Google account email in our database to access the service.
The data is stored on European servers. Sharing: We do not share Google user data with any third parties, except when required by law. We ensure that all data usage is limited to the practices explicitly disclosed in this privacy policy.

Our Google Sheets™ add-on has been verified by Google's Workspace store.

CortexSheetAI 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.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA is the first state law in the US to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. This law extends beyond California, requiring any person or company in the US (and potentially worldwide) operating websites that collect PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

When it comes to collecting personal information from children under 13 years old, the COPPA puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which outlines what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13 years old.
