Thanks Nathanael for this answer. Does the use of a Gsheet as the sheet to store personal data would then be GDPR compliant ?

Google Sheet or not, data still sits on Glide servers. The app only communicates with Glide servers. It doesn’t know if data comes from Google, Excel, Airtable, Glide, or somewhere else. The app only knows that data comes from Glide’s servers. Glide servers then communicate with those external data sources.
Consider the above if your are thinking that storing data in Google sheets is a way to prevent Glide from seeing that data, because it’s not.
Not going to say it’s GDPR compliant or not. I don’t have that knowledge.

Do you know if Glide App belongs to this list : [https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search](https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search)
It is the list of companies whose it is authorized to store data in the US for european firms.

Thanks Jeff. Is it the same logic for BigQuery Data sources ?

May be, when Benjamin\_Sabbah mean Google Sheet as data source they mean that you didn’t connect Google Sheet to glide editor. Just place data to Google Sheet and ask google to store data in Europe. And to fetch this data to user’s device computed column. This way it will be not synced to Glide server. No?

May be:
As mentioned above, if you have to connect Google Sheet to Glide then Glide will mirroring all data from Google Sheet to Glide server to deal.
But if You didn’t connect Google Sheet to Glide this way You still can access to Google Sheet data(fetch or query json) also write to Google Sheet from Glide App(Call api or thru [Make.com](http://Make.com))
This way, fetched data don’t be stored in Glide server just present at user device, i hope
And this way You can ask Google to store Google Sheet in Europe server.
This using case for store just personal data in Google Sheet
I’m sorry for my English!
