Range Protection Add-on

Last updated: (13/1/2026)

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the Range Protection Google Sheets Add-on (“the Add-on”) handles user data.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how information is used.

2. Information We Access

The Add-on accesses the following data only while the user is actively using it:

  • Google Spreadsheet IDs provided by the user

  • Sheet names and cell ranges specified by the user

  • The user’s Google account email (for license verification only)

⚠️ The Add-on does NOT collect personal information beyond what is required to function.

3. How Information Is Used

The accessed data is used solely to:

  • Apply or remove range protections in Google Sheets

  • Verify whether the current user is authorized to use the Add-on

The Add-on does not:

  • Store user data externally

  • Track users

  • Analyze behavior

  • Share data with third parties

4. Data Storage

  • The Add-on does not store any data on external servers

  • All operations occur inside Google’s infrastructure

  • No information is saved after the operation completes

5. Data Sharing

We do not share any user data with:

  • Advertisers

  • Analytics platforms

  • Third-party services

User data remains private and under the user’s control.

6. Permissions Justification

The Add-on requests Google API permissions only to perform its core functionality, including:

  • Reading and modifying Google Sheets to protect/unprotect ranges

  • Accessing spreadsheet files specified by the user

These permissions are strictly required and are not used for any other purpose.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect data by:

  • Running entirely within Google’s secure Apps Script environment

  • Avoiding external APIs or data transfers

  • Restricting access through license validation

8. User Control

Users remain in full control of their data and can:

  • Remove the Add-on at any time

  • Revoke permissions through their Google Account

  • Choose which files, sheets, and ranges to modify

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time.
Any changes will be reflected in the latest version of this document.
