Privacy Policy

Applies to users of the Google Sheets Calculus Functions Add-on

Last updated: Nov 10, 2025

ExcelWorks (the “Developer,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This page describes how we collect, use, and handle information when you install and use our Google Sheets Calculus Functions Add-on.

To operate properly, the add-on requires certain Google account permissions (“scopes”) as detailed below. You can revoke these permissions at any time from your Google Account settings or by uninstalling the add-on.

Required Data-Access Permissions

userinfo.email

Used to access the email address associated with your Google account. We use this email solely to identify your account and to send essential, service-related communications (e.g., license confirmation, critical updates).

script.container.ui

Allows the add-on to display menus and sidebar interfaces within your Google Sheets environment.

spreadsheets.currentonly

Enables the add-on to read formulas and values from your current spreadsheet that you provide as input arguments to its calculus functions, and to write results back into the sheet.

script.external_request

Allows secure communication with our ExcelWorks computation server. The server receives only the input data required for the requested calculus operation, performs the computation, and returns the results.

script.send_mail

Permits the add-on to send important service-related messages (for example, error reports or license notifications) when required.

Types of Data Accessed and Their Use

Personal Data

When you install the add-on, we collect your Google account email address, locale, and language preferences. This information is used only to identify your account, configure regional settings, and communicate with you when necessary.

Spreadsheet Data

The add-on accesses data solely from the active spreadsheet where it is installed. Only the formulas and values that you explicitly pass to our calculus functions are read. These data are used exclusively to perform the requested calculation and to return the computed result to your sheet.

Data Storage and Retention

Data sent to our computation server are processed entirely in volatile memory and automatically erased immediately after the calculation is completed. In rare cases, small samples of anonymized input data may be retained temporarily for debugging or performance-improvement purposes, after which they are promptly deleted. No data are stored in any persistent database or shared with third parties.

Your Control

You can revoke the add-on’s access to your Google account at any time by visiting your Google Account permissions page or by uninstalling the add-on from Google Sheets.
