Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains to what extent the Multi Find & Replace add on accesses and transmits user data.

Note that the "Multi Find & Replace" add on's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres strictly to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Why does Multi Find & Replace need to "connect to an external service"?

After the free trial period, licenses may be obtained through the 'Gumroad' e-commerce platform.

After entering a valid license key code, the add on transmits this code to the Gumroad servers for validation. It then saves the license key in its 'user properties', and each time the add on is used, it first transmits this key code to the Gumroad servers to be validated.

This permission allows Multi Find & Replace to contact the Gumroad software license server to check that your license key is valid.

Why does Multi Find & Replace need to "display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications"?

This permission allows Multi Find & Replace to display its user interface inside a 'sidebar' window on the right hand side of the current document. It also allows Multi Find & Replace  to use dialogs to interact with the user when required, eg for input of a license key or display of helpful warning or error messages.

The Multi Find & Replace add-on only ever accesses the document being edited. It never transmits this data in any form. Therefore none of your private data is ever collected or shared by Multi Find & Replace.

This privacy policy explains to what extent the TableMate add-on accesses and transmits user data.

Note that the "TableMate" add on's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres strictly to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What information I collect

• The TableMate add-on does not access the user's private data, apart from the document being edited, and never transmits this data in any form.

How I use this data

• No user data is collected by TableMate. So it can't be used either.

How I share this data

• I can't share it because I don't have it or collect it.

ABOUT ‘PERMISSIONS’ REQUIRED WHEN INSTALLING TABLEMATE

ONLY TWO permissions are needed to run almost all of TableMate’s functions during the trial period:

• View and manage documents that this application is installed in.
  This allows TableMate to make the changes you ask it to make, like formatting a table etc. It can't do anything without this permission.

• Display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications.
  This allows TableMate to display ‘sidebar’ windows in your browser.  The sidebar windows contain the buttons, sliders etc. that you use to make TableMate work.

––––––––––––––––––

If you ever do something in TableMate that needs further permissions, then you will be given the opportunity to allow them. These are explained below:

––––––––––––––––––

If you decide to purchase a license key to continue using TableMate after the free trial period, then you will need to allow the following permission:

• Connect to an external service.
  This enables TableMate to contact the Gumroad software license server to check that your license key is valid.

––––––––––––––––––

If you want to use the '+ line fix' feature to format table gridlines, then you will need to allow the following permission:

• See, edit, create, and delete all your Google Docs documents.

Why this warning is given?

This permission makes more advanced commands available to the add-on software for managing documents, and these include the possibility of creating and deleting documents.  But TableMate doesn't include any such commands in its software. Also, after thousands of downloads, there has never been a complaint that TableMate has deleted files or any other such thing!

When and why are the advanced commands needed?

This permission is only accessed when the user clicks the '+ line fix' button in the 'Format tables' tab.
In that case, more advance software functions are needed to access the table gridlines and format them properly.

 What if I decide not to select this permission:

You won't be able to use '+ line fix'.

BUT

Everything else in TableMate will work perfectly without this permission.

If you ever click '+ line fix', you will be given the opportunity to allow the permission if you decide you want it after all.

And please be assured that TableMate will never create or delete any of your documents, and the only document it ever edits is the one you are using it with!

This privacy policy explains to what extent the Gender Check add on accesses and transmits user data.

Note that the "Gender Check" add on's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres strictly to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What information I collect

• Nothing. The Gender Check add-on has no access to the user's private data, apart from the document being edited, and the contents of that document are never transmitted or shared by Gender Check.

How I use this data

• As Gender Check doesn't collect any user data, it can't be used for any purpose.

How I share this data

• No user data is collected by Gender Check, so it can never be shared either.

––––––––––––––––––

• Why does Gender Check need to "View and manage documents that this application has been installed in"?

• Gender Check is a Google Doc add-on, which can scan a document for gender words and change the gender of words in a document. In order to perform these functions, it needs to be able to access the content of the document it is opened in. 

• Why does Gender Check need to "connect to an external service"?

• Only if you enter a license key into Gender Check, Gender Check will then contact the Gumroad software license server to check that your license key is valid. This permission allows this to happen. 

• Why does Gender Check need to "display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications"?

• This permission enables Gender Check to display its user interface inside a 'sidebar' window on the right hand side of the current document. It also allows Gender Check to use dialogs to interact with the user when required, eg for input of a license key.
