Badge Sheet Maker add-on: privacy policy
Last updated 15 November 2026. This policy covers the Badge Sheet Maker add-on for Google Sheets™, made by TechBox Shop (run by TechBox Solutions). It turns the rows of a spreadsheet into a printable PDF of name badges.
What the add-on can access
When you install it, the add-on asks for two permissions:
- Access to the spreadsheet the add-on is used in (
spreadsheets.currentonly; Google shows its own wording for this on the permission screen). The add-on uses this only to read the text shown in the cells of the sheet that is open when you choose Make badges. It does not change your spreadsheet and does not open any other file. - Showing its own window inside the spreadsheet (
script.container.ui). This lets the add-on show its window inside the spreadsheet.
The add-on does not ask for access to your email, your Drive files, your contacts or anything else.
What happens to your spreadsheet data
- The cell text is passed from the spreadsheet to the add-on's window (through Google's Apps Script service), where the badges and the PDF are built in your own browser.
- Your list is not sent to us or to anyone else, and it is not stored by the add-on. When you close the window, it is gone.
- The PDF is saved to your computer by your browser. We never receive a copy.
- A logo you add is used in that window only and is not saved.
What is sent to us
Only if you have bought the unlock: when the window opens (if a code is saved) or when you paste a code, the add-on sends the unlock code and the tool's name (name-badge-sheets) to our website (https://shop.techboxsolution.com/api/unlock-check) to check that the code is genuine. Nothing from your spreadsheet is included. Our website answers yes or no; we do not keep a log of these checks beyond the short-lived request logs of our hosting provider (Netlify).
What is stored, and where
The add-on stores at most two things, both in Google's storage for this add-on and your Google account (Apps Script “user properties”). It does not store anything on our servers, in the spreadsheet, or in your browser.
- Your unlock code, only after you apply one and our website has accepted it, so you do not have to paste it again.
- Your saved presets, only if you save one: sheet layout, nudge and style settings. Never your list and never your logo.
Only this add-on, running for you while you are signed in, can read them. We cannot see them. They are kept until you remove them.
How to delete what is stored
Open the add-on (Extensions › Badge Sheet Maker › Make badges...), go to Your saved data at the bottom of the window, press Remove my saved unlock code and presets and confirm. This deletes both items from your account straight away and works on the free version too. The add-on then runs as the free version with no presets; you can paste your unlock code again later.
If you plan to remove the add-on, use this button first. The data is held only in your Google account, so we cannot delete it for you, but we can help if the button does not work (see Questions below).
Payments
The unlock is bought on our website, not inside the add-on. Checkout is handled by Stripe; we never see your card details. Stripe gives us your name, email address and what you bought so we can deliver the unlock code and answer support requests. See the shop privacy page.
What we do not do
- No advertising, no tracking, no analytics in the add-on.
- We do not sell, share or transfer data from Google APIs to anyone, and we do not use it for anything other than building your badge PDF in your browser.
- No person at TechBox can see your spreadsheet through the add-on.
Use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Removing the add-on
First delete your saved data with the button described above. Then remove the add-on from Extensions › Add-ons › Manage add-ons in any spreadsheet, and revoke its access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
