Can Jivrus employees access data in the connected app accounts?

No, All the service details are stored in the customer's Google Sheet only. And we don't have any access to the Google Sheet of customer. Sheet Director server stores only id and analytics info such as email ID, quota details, usage, etc and does not store any other configuration or transactional data.

Does the app have access to all data in the connected app accounts, or just the areas where the user "points to"?

We are using industry-standard authorization types such as OAuth1, OAtuh2, etc. And it is a scope-based authorization so the Sheet Director has only access to the scope which we are asking for while authorization.

Can Jivrus employees access data in the spreadsheets?
