Safety & Trust
How we keep your data safe and what you should watch out for when using the cnshopper spreadsheet.
Is the CNShopper Spreadsheet Safe?
Yes. The cnshopper spreadsheet lives entirely inside your own Google or Microsoft account. We do not host your data on our servers. We do not ask for passwords. We do not track what you buy. When you click a template link, you are opening a read-only file that you then copy into your personal cloud storage. From that moment on, it is your file, protected by the same two-factor authentication and encryption that guards your email.
Because the sheet is yours, you control sharing permissions. You can keep it private forever, share it with a business partner, or revoke access at any time. No third-party startup can change their privacy policy and expose your order history — because they never had it.
Data Privacy Tips
Enable two-factor authentication
On your Google or Microsoft account. This is the single biggest step you can take to protect your sheet data.
Never share the master link publicly
If you need to share with a partner, invite them by email with Editor access, not Viewer with link.
Review version history monthly
Google Sheets keeps every edit. If something looks wrong, go to File → Version history to spot unauthorized changes.
Do not store payment card numbers
Your spreadsheet should track order costs, not card details. Keep financial credentials in a dedicated password manager.
Payment Protection Advice
When you buy through links from our main store or external suppliers, always follow these rules:
- Use a credit card or buyer-protection service like PayPal whenever possible.
- Never send direct bank transfers to a supplier you have never ordered from before.
- Keep screenshots of every product page, price, and promised shipping timeline.
- If a deal looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is.
Avoiding Scams
Scammers target bulk buyers because order values are high. The cnshopper spreadsheet helps you stay organized, but vigilance is still your best defense. Red flags to watch for:
No verifiable reviews
Search the supplier name + 'review' on Reddit and independent forums before paying.
Pressure to pay quickly
Legitimate sellers do not pressure you. Scammers create urgency to bypass your caution.
Prices 60%+ below retail
Some discounts are real, but extreme underpricing is usually a bait switch or empty box scam.
No tracking provided
Always demand a tracking number within 48 hours of payment. Delays are a warning sign.
Best Practices
Treat your cnshopper spreadsheet like a business ledger. Back it up weekly. Use strong account passwords. Share access only with trusted partners. And when in doubt about a supplier, check our safety checklist or visit our verified main store at oocbuy.com.
