TickerFetch

Privacy policy

Last updated: 31 July 2026.

TickerFetch is a Google Sheets add-on operated by an individual developer based in Lithuania (EU). This page describes exactly what data is handled and why. Questions or requests: support@tickerfetch.com.

What is collected

  • Your email address — when you request a licence key. It is the identifier for your licence and, if you subscribe, for your subscription.
  • Your licence key — generated by us and stored alongside the email address and expiry date.
  • Ticker symbols — the symbols your formulas ask for are sent to the API so prices can be returned.
  • Request logs — standard server logs of API requests, including your IP address, which is also used to rate-limit the key-request form.

What is not collected

  • No cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts on this website.
  • No contents of your spreadsheets. The add-on requests the narrowest Google permission available, which limits it to the spreadsheet it is used in, and only the ticker symbol and your key are ever sent to our server.
  • No card details. If you subscribe, payment is handled entirely by Stripe.

Why, and on what basis

Your email address and licence key are processed to provide the service you asked for (performance of a contract). Request logs and rate limiting are processed to keep the service running and to prevent abuse (legitimate interests). We do not send marketing email, so there is no marketing consent to give or withdraw.

Who else processes it

  • DigitalOcean — hosting (Frankfurt, EU).
  • Google — delivery of the key email, and the Apps Script platform the add-on runs on.
  • Yahoo Finance — receives the ticker symbols in order to return prices. It does not receive your email address or key.
  • Stripe — payment processing, if you subscribe.

How long it is kept

Your email address, key and expiry are kept while the licence exists, and are deleted on request. Server logs rotate automatically and are not retained long-term.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, correction of it, or its deletion. Email support@tickerfetch.com from the address the key was issued to and it will be handled manually — deleting the record also invalidates the key. If you are in the EU or UK you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Google user data

TickerFetch’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data obtained through those APIs is used only to provide the price-lookup feature described on this site, is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train models.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of the page changes with it.
