Last Updated: March 5, 2026
Nerd Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) respects the privacy of the users of its website, www.nerdenterprises.com, and the services provided through it (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information is gathered and how it may be used.
Your use of the Company’s services and this Site are also governed by the Nerd Enterprises, Inc. Terms of Use at: https://nerdenterprises.com/terms
As a general policy, no personally identifiable information — such as your name, address, or email address — is automatically collected from your visit to the Site. Certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of our internet servers, including browser type, operating system, and IP address, gathered to enhance your online experience.
The Site’s mailing lists, downloads, special offers, contests, registration forms, and surveys may request contact information, demographic information, and personal preference information. Information submitted will be used only as necessary for our legitimate business interests, including improvement of our products, services, and Site content. Personally identifiable information is never sold or leased to any third party.
The Company does not store any credit card information except as necessary to complete a specific transaction, or as otherwise authorized by a user.
This section applies specifically to Clean 1099s, a web application offered by Nerd Enterprises, Inc. at https://nerdenterprises.com/clean/1099s/go.html. It describes how Clean 1099s accesses, uses, stores, and shares data obtained through Google API Services, including Google OAuth 2.0, Google Sheets API, and the Gmail API. This disclosure is required by the Google API Services User Data Policy.
Clean 1099s is a tool that helps bookkeepers collect W-9 information and vendor details from their clients’ vendors for IRS 1099 reporting purposes. Bookkeepers sign in with Google to create a secure, personalized workspace within their own Google account.
When a bookkeeper signs in with Google, Clean 1099s requests the following permissions:
Google Sheets API (…/auth/spreadsheets) — to create and write to a Google Sheet in the bookkeeper’s own Google Drive that stores submitted vendor information.
Gmail API (…/auth/gmail.send or gmail.compose) — to send email notifications from the bookkeeper’s own Gmail account when a vendor submits their information.
These are the only permissions requested. Clean 1099s does not request access to read email, access contacts, access Google Drive files beyond the Sheet it creates, or any other Google data.
Data accessed through Google API Services is used exclusively to provide the functionality of Clean 1099s. Specifically:
Google Sheets access is used to write vendor W-9 data (name, address, entity type, EIN/SSN, and uploaded W-9 PDF) directly to a spreadsheet in the bookkeeper’s own Google Drive. Nerd Enterprises does not store this data on its own servers.
Gmail access is used solely to send an automated notification email to the bookkeeper when a vendor submits their information. No emails are read, stored, or processed by Clean 1099s.
Vendor data submitted through Clean 1099s — including business name, address, tax identification numbers (EIN or SSN), and W-9 documents — is written directly to a Google Sheet and Google Drive folder owned and controlled by the bookkeeper. This data resides in the bookkeeper’s own Google account, not on Nerd Enterprises servers.
Nerd Enterprises maintains a Master Registry spreadsheet (in a Google Sheet owned by Nerd Enterprises) that records the email address, name, Google Sheets ID, and Google Drive folder ID of registered bookkeepers. This is used solely for app administration and routing purposes. It does not contain vendor data, EIN/SSN numbers, or any sensitive financial information.
Nerd Enterprises does not sell, rent, or share Google user data with any third party. Google user data is not used for advertising, analytics profiling, or any purpose other than delivering the functionality described in this policy.
The only parties with access to data stored via Clean 1099s are: (1) the bookkeeper who registered the account, (2) Nerd Enterprises’ Apps Script backend (operating under the bookkeeper’s Google OAuth grant), and (3) the bookkeeper’s own Google account.
Vendor data in the bookkeeper’s Google Sheet is retained for as long as the bookkeeper retains their spreadsheet. Bookkeepers may delete their data at any time by deleting their Google Sheet or individual rows within it.
To remove a bookkeeper’s registration from the Nerd Enterprises Master Registry, email hello@nerdenterprises.com with the subject line “Clean 1099s — Delete My Account.” The registration record will be deleted within 30 days. This does not affect the bookkeeper’s own Google Drive data.
Nerd Enterprises will retain Master Registry records (email, name, Sheet ID, Folder ID) only as long as the bookkeeper remains an active user of the service.
Compliance with Google API Services User Data Policy
Nerd Enterprises’ use of Google API Services complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:

App data is not used for advertising purposes.
App data is not shared with humans except as necessary to provide the service (e.g., for support or security purposes), as required by law, or after obtaining affirmative user consent.
We only request the minimum scopes necessary for the app to function.

If you participate in Circle-based spaces, content, or programs, Circle’s own privacy practices apply to data processed within their platform. Please review Circle’s privacy policy for details.
