Safety & Privacy
Your trust matters. Here is how we handle data, protect your privacy, and help you avoid common scams when using a lovegobuy spreadsheet.
Is a Lovegobuy Spreadsheet Safe?
Yes, a lovegobuy spreadsheet is one of the safest tools you can use for order management. Unlike browser extensions or third-party apps that require access to your shopping accounts, a spreadsheet lives entirely in your control. When you use Google Sheets or Excel on your local machine, no external service has access to your data unless you explicitly share it.
The primary risk comes not from the spreadsheet itself, but from how you share it. Always review sharing permissions before sending a link to anyone, including your buying agent. Use "Viewer" or "Commenter" access instead of "Editor" unless you fully trust the recipient.
Privacy Best Practices
Remove Personal Data
Never include your home address, phone number, or payment details in your spreadsheet. Use agent reference numbers instead.
Use Generic File Names
Avoid naming your sheet 'My OOCBuy Orders' — use something non-descriptive like 'Project Alpha' if sharing links.
Limit Sharing Links
Generate shareable links only when needed and revoke them after your agent completes the order.
Enable 2FA
Protect your Google or Microsoft account with two-factor authentication so your sheets stay secure.
Scam Avoidance Checklist
- Never pay an agent through methods outside their official platform
- Verify agent contact details through official websites, not chat apps alone
- Double-check product links before sending them — typosquatting is common
- Keep screenshots of every order confirmation in a dedicated folder
- Do not share your spreadsheet publicly on forums or social media
- Use a unique, strong password for your spreadsheet account
Safe Usage Checklist
- Back up your spreadsheet weekly to a secondary location
- Use version history in Google Sheets to recover accidentally deleted data
- Keep agent communication within official channels, not personal chat apps
- Review your sheet for exposed sensitive data before every share
- Set expiration dates on shared links whenever the platform supports it
- Log out of shared devices after using your spreadsheet account
