Safety & Trust Center

How we protect your data, what to watch out for, and best practices for staying safe while tracking orders.

Data Privacy First

This website does not collect personal information, store cookies for tracking, or share visitor data with advertisers. We use minimal analytics solely to understand which guides help readers most, and even those numbers are anonymized. When you click a link to our main partner site, standard browser referrer data may be shared as part of normal web navigation, but we do not attach any personal identifiers.

Payment Safety

All purchases and payments happen directly on our main partner website. We never handle credit card transactions, wallet transfers, or payment processing on cssbuy.fun. This separation means your financial data never touches our servers. When you click a "buy it now" or "visit main website" button, you are redirected to an established e-commerce platform with its own PCI-compliant security infrastructure.

Scam Warning Signs

Macro-Enabled Files

Never enable Excel macros in a downloaded spreadsheet from an unknown source. Macros can contain malicious code.

Password Requests

No legitimate spreadsheet template will ever ask for your Google, PayPal, or bank password inside a cell.

Fake Templates

Only copy templates from trusted sources. Check the sharing settings before downloading anything.

Phishing Links

Hover over every link before clicking. If the URL looks suspicious, close the tab immediately.

Best Practices

  • Enable two-factor authentication on your Google or Microsoft account.
  • Review sharing permissions on your spreadsheet monthly.
  • Back up your data to a second cloud provider or local drive.
  • Never paste passwords, card numbers, or API keys into spreadsheet cells.
  • Use view-only sharing for group buys; reserve edit access for yourself.
FAQ

Common security questions answered

Yes. When you use a self-managed Google Sheets or Excel file, your data stays entirely under your control. Unlike third-party apps that may collect browsing history or sell aggregated purchase data, a spreadsheet lives in your own cloud account or local drive. Google encrypts Sheets at rest and in transit. Excel files stored locally are only accessible to anyone who has your computer credentials. We recommend enabling two-factor authentication on your Google or Microsoft account for an extra layer of protection.
