Information the Add-on Collects

AnyMerge Docs collects only limited information necessary to operate and improve the service.

Anonymous Usage Information

The add-on may collect anonymous usage information to help us understand how features are used and to improve the user experience.

This information does not identify individual users or organizations and cannot be used to trace activity back to a specific person.

Email Addresses

We collect and store your email address only in the following situations:

• Subscription purchases: If you purchase a Day Pass or Monthly Pass through PayPal, we store your email address to send you an activation key and provide subscription-related support.

• Error reports: If you choose to send an error report from within the add-on, your email address may be included so that we can investigate the issue and contact you if additional information is required.

We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

Bitly Access Tokens

Bitly integration is optional.

If you choose to use Bitly link shortening features, you may provide a Bitly Access Token to the add-on.

The Bitly Access Token is stored as part of your personal add-on data and is only accessible to your Google account.

AnyMerge Docs does not share, sell, or use your Bitly Access Token for any purpose other than communicating with the Bitly API on your behalf to shorten links.

You can revoke and remove the stored Bitly Access Token at any time from the add-on settings.

Permissions Required

AnyMerge Docs requests only the permissions necessary to generate documents and provide the features described in this policy.

The add-on primarily works with:

• the currently active spreadsheet,

• templates that you explicitly select,

• folders that you explicitly choose, and

• documents created by the add-on during document generation.

In certain scenarios, the add-on may also access other files that you explicitly reference as part of the document generation process. For example, when merging images stored in Google Drive™, the add-on may retrieve the images to insert them into generated documents.

AnyMerge Docs does not access or modify unrelated Google Docs™ documents, Google Sheets™ spreadsheets, or other Google Drive™ files that are not required to provide the features you have configured.

Google Docs™

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents

Used to create and update Google Docs™ documents generated from your templates.

Google Sheets™

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.currentonly

Used to read data from the currently active spreadsheet and write output information such as generated document URLs, file IDs, timestamps, and visual indicators.

The add-on does not request access to all spreadsheets in your Google account.

Google Drive™

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file

Used to access files and folders that you explicitly select or create through the add-on, such as templates, generated documents, output folders, and image files referenced during document generation.

AnyMerge Docs uses Google's more restrictive drive.file permission and does not request full access to your Google Drive™.

External Requests

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request

Used to communicate with external services required by the add-on.

External requests are performed only as required to provide these features.

User Interface

Used to display the AnyMerge Docs user interface inside Google Sheets™, including dialogs, sidebars, notifications, and configuration screens.

Email Address

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email

Used to identify the current user for licensing purposes, manage subscriptions, and provide access to premium features.

Your email address may also be used when you choose to send an error report from within the add-on.

How AnyMerge Docs Uses Your Data

AnyMerge Docs is designed to minimize its impact on your Google Workspace™ data.

Documents

The add-on creates new Google Docs™ documents based on the templates you select.

AnyMerge Docs:

• Creates new documents in your Google Drive™

• Modifies only the documents it creates during the generation process

• Converts newly created documents to PDF when requested

AnyMerge Docs does not:

• Modify your existing Google Docs™ documents

• Delete Google Docs™ documents

• Access or change documents that are unrelated to the add-on

Spreadsheets

The add-on works only with the currently active spreadsheet.

If configured by you, AnyMerge Docs may update the spreadsheet by:

• Writing generated document URLs

• Writing generated file IDs

• Writing timestamps

• Highlighting the row currently being processed

• Highlighting cells that require your attention, such as missing document names

AnyMerge Docs does not:

• Modify other spreadsheets in your Google account

• Delete spreadsheet data

• Change spreadsheet values unless required by features you have explicitly configured

Information We Do Not Collect

AnyMerge Docs does not collect or store:

• The contents of your Google Sheets™

• The contents of your Google Docs™ templates

• The contents of the generated documents

• Images, links, QR codes, or other data processed during document generation

Document generation is performed using your Google Workspace™ account and authorized permissions.

Your Control

You decide which templates, folders, and spreadsheets the add-on uses.

AnyMerge Docs only performs actions necessary to generate documents according to your configuration.

Important: AnyMerge Docs generates new documents from your templates. It does not modify or delete your existing Google Docs™ documents.
