Last Updated: 27 August 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how SandeshAI ("SandeshAI", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, retains, and deletes information when you use:
This updated version preserves core elements of the earlier SandeshAI privacy statement while adding explicit disclosures required by Google OAuth verification (Google user data scope, retention, and deletion). If anything here conflicts with older posted text, this version controls.
SandeshAI is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and best-practice principles of transparency, minimization, security, and user control.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, share, and use personal information when you use our website, WhatsApp Sender & Automation for Google Sheets, or related services. It describes what data we access, why we access it, how long we retain it, and how you can exercise control (including deletion).
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will appear with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance.
Historically our broader platform privacy wording covered potential collection of contact details, usage logs, support communications, and optional user-generated content (UGC). We currently do not operate public forums; references to "forums/blog submissions" in earlier versions are retained only for historical continuity and do not reflect active collection if such features are disabled.
We do NOT intentionally collect sensitive categories (e.g., government IDs, financial account numbers) unless you choose to include such data in spreadsheet cells—please avoid including sensitive data in fields used for messaging automation.
The Add-on currently requests the following OAuth scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.currentonly – read/write only the active spreadsheet.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request – send HTTPS requests to SandeshAI’s API.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp – create/manage triggers (time/form/edit).https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui – render sidebar and dialogs for configuration/logs.We deliberately avoid broader Drive browsing scopes. We do not list or access other files outside the active spreadsheet context.
We do NOT sell Google user data, and we do NOT use spreadsheet content to build advertising profiles.
Retention periods (default maximums unless user deletes earlier):
| Category | Storage Location | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheet cell data | User’s active sheet only | User-controlled; not copied externally |
| Log & configuration tabs | Active spreadsheet | Until user deletes/clears |
| API key & campaign name | Encrypted Apps Script properties | Until user deletion or 180 days inactivity |
| Operational logs (no raw content) | Secure server logs | 30 days rolling |
| Support email threads | Support inbox | Up to 24 months or on request |
| Encrypted backups | Backup storage | ≤30 days after source deletion |
When a retention period ends, data is securely deleted or anonymized unless legal obligations require delay.
In the Add-on sidebar (Settings), you can:
You may also manually delete or modify any spreadsheet rows or tabs. For deletion of server-side operational or support data, email contact@sandeshai.com from the associated Google Account; we fulfill requests within 30 days (typically <7 days).
We implement technical and organizational safeguards proportionate to the sensitivity of data:
No system is completely secure; you should avoid placing sensitive personal data in spreadsheet columns used for automation and limit sharing of the sheet to trusted collaborators.
Infrastructure or service providers may process data in jurisdictions outside your own. Equivalent security measures apply irrespective of location.
We do not sell, rent, or trade Google user data. We do not repurpose spreadsheet contents for advertising, profiling, or unrelated analytics.
We do not currently train generalized AI/ML models on Google Sheets content processed through the Add-on. If optional AI features are introduced in the future, we will provide a conspicuous notice and request additional consent before any such processing.
The service is intended for users aged 18+. If we become aware of data from a user under 18 without proper authorization, we will delete it promptly.
Subject to applicable law, you may request to:
Requests can be initiated via in-product controls or by emailing contact@sandeshai.com.
We will post any changes at this URL. Material changes may also appear in Add-on release notes or a prominent banner. Continued use after the revised date constitutes acceptance.
For questions, data access, or deletion requests please email: contact@sandeshai.com
Include: (a) your Google Account email, (b) description of request, (c) approximate date/time of automation if relevant. Do not send raw spreadsheet contents unless necessary.
