Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Auto Response for Google Form ("the Add-on", "we", "us", or "our") accesses, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Google Forms add-on.
Overview
Auto Response for Google Form helps a Google Form owner configure AI-assisted email replies for form submissions. The Add-on is designed to use Google user data only for the user-facing features shown in the product: selecting a recipient email field, generating editable reply instructions, previewing a sample reply, and sending replies when enabled.
We do not sell Google user data. We do not use Google user data for advertising, retargeting, personalized ads, creditworthiness, lending, or surveillance. We do not use Google user data to train generalized AI models.
Data we access
Depending on how you configure the Add-on, it may access the following data from your Google Form and related Google services:
- Google Form metadata, such as the form title, description, question titles, question types, and answer choices.
- Form submission data, such as answers submitted by respondents and respondent email addresses when your form collects email addresses or when you select an email question.
- Email sending information needed to send a reply, such as the recipient email address, generated subject, and generated email body.
- Add-on settings, such as automation on/off status, selected email field, prompt, subject template, tone, reply length, AI assistant selection, sample preview answers, and generated preview text.
The Add-on requests only permissions needed to provide these features.
How we use data
We use Google user data only to provide or improve the Add-on's visible user-facing features. Specifically, we use it to:
- Detect likely recipient email fields in your Google Form.
- Generate editable reply prompts and email subject templates when you request AI generation.
- Generate sample answers and email previews for your review.
- Generate and send automatic email replies for new form submissions when you enable automatic replies.
- Store your Add-on settings and preview state so the Add-on does not repeatedly call AI services for unchanged content.
Storage and retention
We do not operate a separate application database for storing your Google Form submissions. Add-on settings, sample preview answers, and generated preview text may be stored in Google Apps Script Properties associated with the add-on and the active form, so the Add-on can reload your configuration and avoid repeated AI calls for unchanged content.
Generated reply emails are sent through your configured Google account. We do not maintain a separate reply history in this version.
You can remove stored Add-on data by uninstalling the Add-on, clearing the relevant Apps Script properties, or contacting us for assistance.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data handled by the Add-on. Data is transmitted using modern encrypted connections where supported by Google and service providers. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account, form, add-on deployment, and any API keys or provider settings you configure.
Google API Limited Use compliance
Auto Response for Google Form's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data only to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in the Add-on interface. We do not transfer Google user data except as necessary to provide those features, for security, to comply with law, or as otherwise permitted by the Google API Services User Data Policy.
We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless you give affirmative permission for support, it is necessary for security, it is required by law, or the data has been aggregated and is used for internal operations in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

- You choose which field contains the recipient email address.
- You can edit generated prompts, subject templates, and sample answers before use.
- You can stop using the Add-on or uninstall it at any time.

Children
The Add-on is not directed to children under 13 and should not be used in a way that requires collecting children's personal information unless you have all required legal authority and consents.
