Use of External AI Services for Data Analysis

Sherlock For Sheets incorporates AI technology provided by OpenAI to analyze data within Google Sheets. This analysis helps in providing insights and enhancing the functionality of our add-on. Please be aware that in the course of this analysis, certain data from your Google Sheets may be processed by OpenAI. However, we take steps to ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with our privacy standards, as well as OpenAI‘s privacy practices.

We do not store any of your data on our servers. Instead, data necessary for analysis is temporarily processed by OpenAI and then returned to your Google Sheets environment without being stored by Sherlock For Sheets or OpenAI. For more information on how OpenAI processes data, please refer to OpenAI‘s Privacy Policy.
