VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue.

Hi !
So, when using Google Sheets, if I get an invitation link and see the Sheet, and see that it has collapsed columns (e.g., to hide certain information from viewers), I can copy everything, and paste it on the app "Notes" (MacOs), I can see the information that was hidden.

In my case, I was viewing grades given by a course at my university, UC, and the name of the alumni was hidden, but their ID wasn't, so you could look for your own grade but not everyone elses.

Screenshots for proof.
I know you offer money for this kind of bug reports ( if they are good enough ) but I would prefer an opportunity to meet a Recruiter for a Software Engineering job over 10k. If my bug report is good enough to win the price, you can keep it and give me that :)

Best,
Diego

This does not represent a vulnerability in Google Chrome. You can report vulnerabilities in other Google products like Sheets by following the process outlined here: https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/reward-program/

(Having said that, I'd be very surprised if the Sheets product would consider this a vulnerability).
