Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 23, 2025

Notify is a Google Sheets™ Add-on committed to your privacy. We operate on a "Low-Data" principle: we only collect what is strictly necessary to send your alerts.

1. Data Accessed

To provide our service, Notify accesses the following Google user data:

  • Google Account Info: We access your email address, name, and profile picture to create your account and authenticate you.
  • Spreadsheet Content (Restricted Scope): We access specific cells in the spreadsheet where you have activated the add-on. We use the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.currentonly scope, meaning we cannot access any other files in your Google Drive™.

2. Data Usage

We use the accessed data solely for the following purposes:

  • Authentication: To log you in and associate your configuration with your account.
  • Alert Processing: When a trigger fires, our system reads the specific row data that changed to populate your message template.
  • Service Improvement: We collect anonymous usage data (e.g., "Deployment Successful") to fix bugs and improve stability.

We do not use your Google Workspace data to train generalized AI models.

3. Data Sharing (Third Parties)

We do not sell your data. We share data only with the following trusted subprocessors to run the application:

  • Supabase (USA/EU): Database and Backend functions. Stores your configuration rules (e.g., "Watch Column B").
  • Paddle: Merchant of Record. Handles payments securely; we never see your credit card info.
  • Gemini (USA): Optional. If you use the "AI Template Generator" feature, column headers (but not row data) are sent to generate template suggestions.
  • PostHog: Anonymous analytics and error logging.
  • Google Cloud Platform: Hosting the add-on infrastructure.

4. Data Storage & Protection

We take security seriously.

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL (HTTPS) and at rest within our database.
  • Ephemeral Processing: Spreadsheet row data used for alerts is processed in memory and immediately discarded after the message is sent. We do not persist your row data in our database.
  • Access Control: Internal access to data is restricted to authorized engineering personnel for debugging purposes only.

5. Google Limited Use Policy

Notify's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your account and configuration data only as long as you use the service.

  • Retention: Configuration data is stored until you delete your account.
  • Deletion: You can delete your account at any time via the "Settings" menu in the add-on. Upon deletion, all your personal data, tokens, and configurations are permanently wiped from our servers immediately.
