Privacy Policy — SheetViz Maps

Last updated: June 2026

Overview

SheetViz Maps is a Microsoft Excel add-in provided by SheetViz LLC. This policy describes how SheetViz Maps handles your data.

Data processing

When you use SheetViz Maps, address data you enter is sent to the OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding service to convert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). This is the only data transmitted outside your Excel workbook.

What we do not collect

SheetViz Maps does not collect, store, or transmit your personal information, spreadsheet data, or usage analytics. There are no user accounts, no tracking cookies, and no telemetry.

Data storage

All map data — including addresses, coordinates, pin formatting, and map settings — is stored exclusively in your Excel workbook within your Microsoft 365 environment. SheetViz LLC has no access to your workbook data.

Third-party services

Address geocoding is performed by the OpenStreetMap Nominatim service (nominatim.openstreetmap.org). Their usage policy is available at operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/. Map tiles are provided by OpenStreetMap contributors, Carto, and Esri.

Advertising

SheetViz Maps does not display advertisements or share data with advertisers.
