Privacy Policy — LinkSheet for Google Sheets

LinkSheet for Google Sheets ("the add-on") is a Google Workspace add-on published by CropSettle LLC. This policy explains what the add-on accesses and what it does — and does not — do with your data.

What the add-on accesses

• The active spreadsheet — to read cell values and write the hyperlinks you ask it to create (and remove them when you use Clear Hyperlinks). Scope: spreadsheets.currentonly (only the spreadsheet you have open, not your other files).
• Your Google Drive (read-only, metadata only) — to read the files in the folder you choose and obtain each file's shareable link so it can build the hyperlinks. Scope: drive.metadata.readonly. You pick the folder via the Google Picker; the add-on reads only file names and links — never file contents, operates only on the folder you select, and never modifies, deletes, or creates anything in your Drive.
• The add-on's own sidebar — to display the LinkSheet panel inside Google Sheets. Scope: script.container.ui. This grants no access to any data; it only lets the add-on draw its own interface.

Those three are the only permissions LinkSheet requests. You can see them yourself on the consent screen when you install it.

What the add-on does NOT do

• It does not copy, store, or transmit your spreadsheet, your files, or their contents to CropSettle LLC or any third party.
• It does not open, read, or use any files outside the folder you select for a run, and it never reads file contents — only names and links.
• It does not sell or share any personal data.
• It does not use your content for advertising or model training.

Processing & retention

All processing happens within Google's environment during the moment you run the add-on. The add-on keeps only minimal settings (e.g. your last-used options and, if you enter one, a license key) in Google's per-user/script property storage. It retains no copy of your spreadsheet or file contents after a run completes.

Undo & safety

The add-on does not create separate backup copies. Google Sheets' built-in version history (File → Version history) is the safety net — any run can be rolled back there.
