This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what information we collect and why, how data is classified and how you can delete it.
About our add-ons
All our add-ons are designed to automate your daily work and make you more productive with Google Apps like Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms and Google Drive. They are all tightly integrated with your Google account and the data stored in said account. Add-ons are created and developed in Google Apps Script, on Google servers.
Information gathered by an add-on will never be sold or shared to external people. When we need to store data outside of your Google account, we use a Google service for that: Cloud Firestore. Your data never leaves Google servers. We are only storing data in Cloud Firestore when needed to provide the service offered by the add-on. Most data collected by our add-ons are directly processed within Google Apps Script and are not saved in any database for later reuse.
Our app’s use of information received, and app’s transfer of information to any other app received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API User Data Policy, including the Limited Use Requirements.
Acceptance of this policy
Our add-ons can only be installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace and when installing, Google will prompt you to accept this policy: “By clicking Continue, you acknowledge that your information will be used in accordance with the terms of service and privacy policy of this application.”
To remove the add-on access to your Google account, you must uninstall the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace (see “User account deletion”).
User account deletion
By using our add-ons, we only access data that is absolutely necessary for the add-on to run correctly. If you wish to stop using our service, simply follow the steps below to uninstall our add-ons from your Google account:

However, there is no automatic deletion of your user data in our database (Cloud Firestore). To get your data from our database deleted, please send your request to info@apps-experts.de and we will delete it within 30 days.
Data classification
Depending on its security impact, data is classified according to the five following categories:
- Confidential data has the highest level of security. Only the user has access to it. Some of our add-ons have full access to your Google Drive, but the content of all files from your Google Drive are strictly confidential and our add-ons never saves that content permanently and only read this content if you are configuring on of the add-on to do so.
- Sensitive data is needed for our add-ons to perform the service you are requesting from the add-on, and is never shared out of this scope. All sensitive data such as files and folders to copy or transfer, the copies generated by the add-ons, the email addresses used to transfer ownership, and all metadata of your files and folders (titles, ids, urls, types, locations, paths, owners, editors, commenters, viewers, shared outsides, creation dates, last modifying dates, last update dates) remain under your control within your Google account.
- Shareable data can be shared to specific people within the company. For example, our Support Team may ask users to share their Google Sheets reports for troubleshooting purposes. We will never keep a copy of your Drive documents‘ data and we strongly encourage you to remove us access to your files once your request has been addressed and resolved.
- Public data can be shared as public records, like all the content published on our website.
- Private data belongs to individuals who are responsible for the maintenance and backup.
