Privacy Policy

Spex is a browser extension that provides keyboard controls and on-screen KeyTips in Google Sheets. This policy explains what Spex accesses, what it stores on your device, and whether any data is transmitted externally.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the Spex browser extension and the Spex public website. Data handling by Google Sheets itself is governed by Google's own terms and privacy policies.

2. Information Spex accesses

To provide keyboard actions requested by the user, Spex observes and interacts with the Google Sheets page UI, DOM, and state required for those actions. Host access is limited to Google Sheets spreadsheet URLs.

Spex does not provide AI analysis of spreadsheet contents.

3. Information stored on your device

Spex stores settings such as KeyTips, Toast, theme, and language; onboarding progress; and limited Spex operational, warning, and error diagnostics in browser extension local storage.

Diagnostics do not store spreadsheet URLs, cell values, formulas, or selection contents.

4. External transmission and website analytics

The Spex browser extension does not automatically transmit usage data, diagnostics or telemetry. Spreadsheet contents and extension interactions are not transmitted to analytics providers.

The public website uses cookie-free Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregated page traffic. We also use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure website page views and Spex promotion impressions and clicks, using Google tags and analytics cookies. Google LLC receives the visited page URL, guide scroll-depth milestones, promotion impressions/clicks, browser and device information, and analytics cookie identifiers to help us improve the website.

GA4 tracks guide scroll milestones at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, as well as clicks on the guide exercise Google Sheets copy links. For information about Google analytics cookies, consult Google’s privacy policy and your browser cookie settings. GA4 never receives spreadsheet contents or in-extension commands. Support diagnostics, website support and uninstall forms transmit only information you explicitly submit.

5. Advertising, sale, and third-party sharing

Spex does not use extension data for personalized advertising and does not sell user data. Explicit support and survey submissions are not used for advertising, sale, or user profiling.

6. Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

Spex's use of user data follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including applicable Limited Use requirements.

7. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy before changing the extension's data transmission or the website analytics practices, and update Chrome Web Store declarations when applicable.
