I saw this. I worked at Facebook for 8 years (where believe it or not, they take privacy very seriously). The first thing I thought of was how they kept this system secure. Google sheets doesn't exactly have per-row permissions, audit logs, etc... One employee creates a share link and you are in major legal trouble.

Hi, i am the OP of the article. When you have 3 people working at a startup then it's easier to trust the folks to do the right thing. Also, we were not storing & collecting any PII.

Hi, nice to meet you! Yeah again, cool engineering work. If, you don't collect PII, how can you possibly prevent spam and abuse and maintain the integrity of the salary data? (like even IP addresses for example)
