Security and Privacy

Data handling, permissions, and infrastructure.

Does my Smartsheet data leave my browser?

No. All Smartsheet data stays in browser local storage. The only server communication is your Smartsheet email address for subscription verification and anonymous usage counts (action names and timestamps) to enforce plan limits.

Do you store my Smartsheet data?

No. Your data never reaches our servers, so it is never stored.

Is my data shared with third parties?

No. Never.

Does Smartsheet data go to third parties?

No. Never.

Can users upload data to Grid Tools?

No. No upload or storage capability.

Can I request data deletion?

Yes. Contact us.

Breach notification timeline?

Within 24 hours of a confirmed incident affecting user data.

Why the 'storage' permission?

To save your settings (e.g., dark theme preference) locally in the browser. No data is sent to our servers — that's the point of using local storage.

Why host permissions?

Grid Tools embeds controls directly into the Smartsheet interface. Host permissions are required by browsers for this integration. This also lets us call Smartsheet's native functions instead of building our own.

Does Grid Tools tamper with Smartsheet's code?

No. Smartsheet's code is unobfuscated. Grid Tools calls it directly without modification.

Is the source code visible?

Yes. Dev Tools > Sources > Grid Tools to browse all source files. Chrome and Firefox extension stores require all code to be visible and auditable.

Can you inject code remotely?

No. Extension stores detect and block remote code injection. See Chrome's remote code policy and W3C enforcement examples.

Network access required?

No. Grid Tools runs entirely in the browser.

Any agents or host software required?

No. Browser extension only — no host agents.

Any network requirements?

None. Works from any network.
