Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2025

1. Introduction

RowSink ("we," "us," or "our") is a service operated by Formilis Studio that turns your Google Sheets into live API endpoints. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our website at rowsink.com and our related services (together, the "Service"). It also explains your rights and how to exercise them.

By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide

  • Account data: When you sign up or log in (e.g. via Google), we receive your name, email address, and profile information from the provider you use.
  • Contact and support: When you contact us or submit a form (e.g. on our contact page), we collect the information you provide, such as name, email, company, and message.

Information we collect automatically

  • Usage and technical data: When you use our website or API, we may collect IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and general usage data (e.g. pages visited, actions taken) to operate and improve the Service.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies as described in Section 8.

What we do not store

We do not store the contents of your spreadsheets. Data sent to your RowSink endpoints (e.g. form submissions, API payloads) is passed through to your linked Google Sheet according to your configuration; we do not retain that data on our systems.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Authenticate you and manage your account
  • Link your Google account and spreadsheets to your RowSink project
  • Respond to your requests, comments, and support inquiries
  • Send you service-related notices (e.g. security or policy updates) where necessary
  • Analyze usage and trends to improve performance and user experience
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues
  • Comply with applicable laws and enforce our terms

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: We use trusted third parties (e.g. hosting, analytics, email) to operate the Service. They process data on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
  • Google: When you connect a Google account or Sheet, Google's processing is governed by Google's privacy policy. We use Google APIs only as necessary to provide the Service.
  • Legal and safety: We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others (e.g. in response to lawful requests by public authorities).
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

6. Data retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For example:

  • Account data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after closure for legal and operational purposes.
  • Contact and support correspondence is retained as needed to handle your requests and for our records.
  • Logs and technical data may be retained for a limited period for security and operations.

You may request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 7). We will honor such requests where we are not required to retain the data by law.

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g. local storage) to provide the Service, remember your preferences, analyze usage, and improve security. You may see a cookie consent banner on our website where required; you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your preferences.
