Google account access

If it's your first time using an add-on, this probably looks pretty scary. Google only allows us access for the specific items listed in the prompt.

It's nice and secure. We ask Google for info, and they provide what you've allowed. We don't see your passwords and can't do anything nasty.

Signature add-on premissions

For Form creators and editors - who request signatures

The prompt when installing the add-on gives the following points:

  • See, edit, create and delete your spreadsheets in Google Drive

This allows us to attach signatures to the Response Sheet. This is how we store signatures from Forms that accept Multiple Signatures


  • View and manage forms that this application has been installed in

When you use the add-on in a form, we can make changes to that form. This is so we can add our signing field


  • Connect to and external service

Our database is separate from the add-on, so this means we can communicate with that


  • Allow this application to run when you are not present

When a form is signed, we put in a checker so the next time it's opened it gives you a warning not to make changes


  • Display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications

This lets us open up a sidebar inside Google's Forms page with the buttons you need to use the add-on
