Privacy.

Your local data

Varallax is a Mac app for exploring and visualising data. When you work with local files, the app processes those files on your Mac. Saved documents, workspaces and caches can contain your data or references to it; you control where you store and share those files.

Google account and BigQuery

A BigQuery integration is in development and live query execution is not yet enabled. The planned connection uses Google sign-in to identify the account you choose and request permission to access BigQuery. The scope requested can allow viewing and managing BigQuery data, subject to the account's Google Cloud permissions.

The development design stores Google refresh credentials in macOS Keychain and connection details such as project, location and expected account email in your workspace. When live querying is enabled, queries would be sent to Google BigQuery and selected results stored in a local cache for visualisation. Google's own terms and privacy practices apply to its services.

Sharing and choices

If you connect another tool to Varallax, data you choose to share through that tool is subject to that tool's handling practices. You can manage Google account access from your Google Account's third-party connections settings. Disconnecting a profile in Varallax does not itself delete local caches or revoke Google access.
