Privacy Policy

Sheet Best ("we", "us" or "our") developed this service to help you build web and mobile apps with Google Spreadsheet, Google Drive or file upload as a backend stack through our suite of APIs. We understand that privacy is important to both our online visitors and registered users. We respect your privacy and will take reasonable steps to protect your information. This Privacy Policy will help you understand the following:

Please also review, if applicable, our Terms of Service, which shall govern in the event of any inconsistency with this Privacy Policy.

1. What does this Privacy Policy apply to?

This Policy applies to the Sheet Best website (Sheet Best, sheet.best, sheetbest.com), including all subdomains, subpages and successor pages (collectively referred to as the "Website"), and also applies to all software and services that we offer, or other services that we offer through our Website when you register for a Sheet Best account (collectively referred to as the "Services").

This Policy does not apply to any website, product or service of any third-party company even if the website links to (or is linked from) our Website. Sheet Best does not operate or control those websites, products or services. Please always review the privacy practices of a company before deciding whether to provide any information.

By using our Website or Services, you are accepting the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, delete all cookies from your browser cache after visiting our Website and do not visit or use our Website or Services. Your continued use of our Website or Services signifies your acceptance of this Policy.

2. Information collection and use

Sheet Best'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.

Broadly speaking, we collect information in three ways: (1) when you provide it directly to us, (2) when we obtain information about your from third parties (3) passively through technology such as "cookies". The types of information that we collect and our use of that information will depend on what kind of user you are as described below.

Personal Information

The term "Personal Information", as used in this Policy, refers to any information that can be used to identify a specific person, or any anonymous information (e.g., IP Address) that is linked to a specific person. Personal information does not include information that has been aggregated or made anonymous such that it can no longer be reasonably associated with a specific person.

Cookies and Web Server Logs

Similar to many commercial websites, we utilize "cookies" and other technologies to collect non-personally-identifiable information from our Website. "Cookies" are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies store information accessed through your browser to streamline activities on related web sites, and make the online experience easier and more personalized. Information gathered through cookies and web-server log files may include information such as the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, IP addresses, links to/from any page, and time spent at a site. We use cookie data to measure web traffic and usage activity on our Website for purposes of improving and enhancing the functionality of our Website, to look for possible fraudulent activity, and to better understand the sources of traffic and transactions on our website. Cookies also allow our servers to remember your account information for future visits and to provide personalized and streamlined information across related pages on our Website. Log files are used to monitor, measure, analyze, improve, and troubleshoot our Services. You can choose to disable cookies for our Website but this may limit your ability to use our Website and Services; see below in Section 4 ("Choice and opt-out").

In order to understand and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, we may also use web beacons, cookies, and other technology to identify the fact that you have visited our Website or seen one of our advertisements, and we may provide that information to one or more third party advertising networks. The information we provide may include the time and date of your visit to our website, pages viewed, links clicked and other non-personally identifying information. Those advertising networks may recognize the web beacon or cookie associated with your visit to our Website when you visit other websites on which they serve advertising, and they may make decisions about the advertisements you see based on it. We may choose to work with Google AdWords, Doubleclick, AdRoll or other advertising networks. Each of these companies has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review. For more information about advertising and tracking online, visit the Network Advertising Initiative. This website allows consumers to "opt out" of the behavioral advertising delivered by member companies. Additional information on that program can be found here.

Website Visitors

To simply browse our Website, you are not required to provide any Personal Information. However, we may gather non-personally-identifiable information, as described directly above, just for the purposes of monitoring and improving our Website and Services. We will not share this information with third parties except as a necessary part of providing our Website and Services, nor will we use it to target any advertisements to you.

Website Users

Google User Data

Sheet Best reads data and writes data to files you provide an URL to. We may keep a cached version of those files. We do not download or store any files from your Google's account, that you did not provide an URL in Sheet Best. We do not share any of your files with any 3rd parties. Sheet Best may view data you provide only as necessary to maintain, provide and improve the Service; to resolve a support request from you. We may also analyze the data in aggregate and on an anonymized basis, to better understand the manner in which Sheet Best is being used.

We create files on your Google account only if you request it. We will not create any files without you not knowing about it.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

Our Website and Services are directed to the general public. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age or have any reasonable grounds for believing that children under the age of 13 are accessing our Website or using our Services. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us.

3. Sharing and disclosure of information

We may disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties if: (i) we are compelled to do so by subpoena, court order or other legal process, (ii) we must do so to comply with laws, statutes, rules or regulations, (iii) we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations of our Terms of Service.

We will only disclose your Personal Information in response to such a request if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to comply with applicable law or a legal obligation to which we are bound. If we receive such a request, we will use reasonable efforts to give you prompt notice, so that you may contest it if you choose. We won't provide you such notice if we determine in good faith that either (a) we are not permitted to provide it under applicable law, or (b) that doing so would result in an imminent risk of death, serious physical injury or significant property loss or damage to Sheet Best or a third party.

In addition, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar events, any information in our possession may be transferred to our successor or assign.

4. Choice and opt-out

If you elect to not provide Personal Information in optional fields it may limit your ability to use our Services. You can update your account information by signing on to our Website with your Sheet Best account.

You can opt out of these email communications by replying with unsubscribe in the subject line, or via an unsubscribe link included in such communications.

If you wish to opt out of having cookies set on your browser (as described above in Section 2), the only way to ensure that this happens is to manage the settings on your web browser to delete all cookies and disallow further acceptance of cookies. For more information, refer to your browser's technical information. You may also consider visiting aboutcookies.org, which provides helpful information about cookies. Note that disabling cookies on your browser prevents Sheet Best from tracking your activities in relation to our Website and Services. However, it may also disable many of the features available through our Websites and Services. We therefore recommend that you leave cookies enabled.

5. Protection of information

Although no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we take reasonable steps to protect all Personal Information. Sheet Best maintains strict administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect information stored in our servers, which are located in the United States. Access to information is limited (through user/password credentials and software systems) to those employees who require it to perform their job functions. We use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to safeguard the account registration process and sign-up information. Other security safeguards include but are not limited to data encryption, firewalls, and physical access controls to building and files.

6. Changes and notifications

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to make changes to this Policy from time to time. Please review this Policy periodically to check for updates. If any changes are material and/or retroactive, we may provide additional notice and/or an opportunity to "opt-in," as appropriate under the circumstances.

Sheet Best will provide you with disclosures and alerts regarding this Policy by posting them on our Website, by emailing the email address listed in your Sheet Best account, and/or by mailing to the physical address listed in your Sheet Best Account.
