Overview
Short version: This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All processing happens locally in your browser. Access to Google Drive is limited exclusively to the single file you choose.
What the extension does
YouTrack → Google Sheets is a Chrome extension that reads issue data from your YouTrack instance and writes it to a Google Spreadsheet of your choice via the Google Sheets API.
Data accessed
The extension accesses the following data solely to perform the export function:
- Issue fields visible on the current YouTrack page (ID, title, status, priority, author, assignee, dates)
- Your Google account identity — only to authorise writes to Google Sheets on your behalf
- The Google Spreadsheet you explicitly select as the export destination
Data storage
The extension stores only the following items locally in Chrome storage:
- Your OAuth 2.0 token — used to authenticate with the Google Sheets API. Stored locally by Chrome, never sent to Lobov Labs servers.
- The Spreadsheet ID you last used — for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter it each time.
No data is sent to any server operated by Lobov Labs.
Data sharing
We do not sell, trade, share, transfer, or disclose Google user data to any third parties.
The extension transmits data only to:
- Google Sheets API — to write YouTrack issue data into the spreadsheet you selected. This transmission is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Your YouTrack instance — to read issue data from the page currently open in your browser.
No Google user data is sent to Lobov Labs servers or any other external services.
Data protection
All communication between the extension and Google APIs is conducted exclusively over HTTPS/TLS.
Authentication is handled via Google OAuth 2.0. The extension does not store your Google account credentials. The OAuth token is stored locally in Chrome’s secure storage (chrome.storage.local) and is never transmitted to Lobov Labs servers.
Access is limited to the minimum necessary scope (drive.file), which restricts the extension to only the specific file the user explicitly selects.
Data retention and deletion
Lobov Labs does not store any Google user data on its servers — there is nothing to retain or delete on our end.
Data stored locally in your browser:
- OAuth token — stored by Chrome and automatically managed by the browser. You can revoke access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Last-used Spreadsheet ID — stored locally for convenience. You can clear it by uninstalling the extension or clearing Chrome extension storage.
To fully remove all locally stored data, uninstall the extension from Chrome.
Google API scopes
The extension requests the following OAuth scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file— to create and write to files created by or explicitly selected by the user in Google Drive
This scope grants access only to the specific Google Spreadsheet the user selects. The extension cannot access any other files in your Google Drive.
Third parties
The extension interacts only with:
- Google Sheets API — to write exported data on your behalf
- Your YouTrack instance — to read issue data from the page you have open
No analytics, tracking scripts, or advertising SDKs are included.
Permissions
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
- activeTab — to read YouTrack issue data from the current tab
- storage — to save your OAuth token and last-used spreadsheet ID locally
- identity — to authenticate with Google OAuth 2.0
- Host permission for your YouTrack domain — to read issue fields from the page
