Privacy policy: Google Sheets and Looker Studio tools

What our Google Sheets add-on and Looker Studio connector store, what they send and who to ask.

This policy is for two tools made by Cliqto Media (cliqtomedia.com):

  • Web Scraper Runner for Apify Actors, an add-on for Google Sheets ("the add-on");
  • Apify Dataset connector for Looker Studio, a community connector ("the connector").

Together we call them "the tools". This policy explains what data the tools handle and where it goes.

Summary

  • The tools have no servers of their own, no user accounts and no analytics.
  • Your Apify token is stored in your own Google account. Only you can read it.
  • The tools send data only to the Apify API (api.apify.com), when you ask them to.
  • Cliqto Media does not receive your data, your token or the content of your spreadsheets and reports.

How the tools work

The tools are Google Apps Script projects. Their code runs on Google's servers, in your Google account, when you use them. They talk to the Apify API on your behalf. Cliqto Media does not run any server between you and Apify.

Google user data the tools access

The add-on asks for these permissions (OAuth scopes):

  • spreadsheets.currentonly: to add a new sheet with the Actor results to the spreadsheet where you opened the add-on. The add-on does not read your existing cells, and it cannot open your other files.
  • script.container.ui: to show the add-on sidebar and dialogs in Google Sheets.
  • script.external_request: to send requests to the Apify API.

The connector asks for this permission:

  • script.external_request: to read your Apify dataset from the Apify API and pass it to Looker Studio.

Google Workspace Marketplace also adds two basic permissions to every app: userinfo.email and userinfo.profile. Google uses them for the install. The tools do not use them, and they do not store or send your email address or profile.

The tools do not ask for access to your Gmail, Google Drive files, contacts or calendar.

Data the tools store

  • Your Apify API token. Stored in Google Apps Script user properties. This storage belongs to your Google account and to this tool. Other users of the same spreadsheet or report cannot read it, and neither can we.
  • Your last settings, such as the Actor ID, the input and the dataset ID. Stored in the same user properties, so you do not need to type them again.
  • Actor results that you import go into your spreadsheet or your Looker Studio report. They are stored by Google like any other content of your file.

Data the tools send

The tools send data only to the Apify API (api.apify.com), and only when you run an action:

  • your Apify API token, to sign in to your Apify account;
  • the Actor ID and the input you wrote, to start a run;
  • the dataset ID, to read results.

Apify then processes this data under the Apify privacy policy. Runs are billed to your Apify account. The input and results stay in your Apify account.

The tools do not send any data to Cliqto Media or to any other third party.

Limited Use

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

  • We use Google user data only to provide the features you see in the tools.
  • We do not transfer it to others, except to the Apify API when you run an action, as described above.
  • We do not use it for advertising, and we do not sell it.
  • We do not use it to train AI or machine learning models.
  • No person at Cliqto Media reads it. We do not have access to it.

Removing data

  • Remove the token. In the add-on, use Settings → Remove token. In the connector, use Revoke access in the data source settings in Looker Studio.
  • Remove the tool. Uninstall the add-on in Google Sheets (Extensions → Add-ons → Manage add-ons), or remove the connector from your Looker Studio data sources. You can also remove access at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Google then deletes the user properties of the tool.
  • Results in your files stay until you delete them, as with any other content.
  • Data in Apify (runs, inputs, results) you delete in your Apify account.

Security

All requests to the Apify API use HTTPS. Your token is never written into the spreadsheet or the report. Do not paste it into cells, and do not share it with other people. If you think someone has your token, create a new one in Apify Console.

Support emails

If you write to us for help, Cliqto Media receives your email. Please do not send your Apify token. Support emails are covered by our website privacy policy.

Children

The tools are for people aged 16 and over. They are not directed at children under 16.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date.
