Privacy Policy

864zeros LLC · Effective 27 October 2026 · Applies to all 864zeros Google Workspace™ Add-ons, browser extensions, desktop & mobile applications, and this website.

The short version: 864zeros software products are local-first: inside our installed add-ons, extensions, and apps, your data stays on your device or inside your own Google Workspace™ session—with no required accounts, no in-app behavioral tracking, and zero cloud rent. On our public websites, YouTube/social channels, and marketing campaigns, we use standard web and campaign analytics (such as Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and UTM attribution) in aggregate to improve our products and content, and we never build or warehouse individual user PII + behavioral profiles.

1. Who we are

864zeros LLC ("864zeros", "we", "us") builds local-first, privacy-first Google Workspace™ Add-ons, browser extensions, and software tools. Contact: [email protected].

2. What data our software handles

864zeros products are local-first. Our browser extensions store the content you create or capture — for example your saved tabs, links, notes, and settings — locally on your device using the browser's own storage (chrome.storage.local / IndexedDB). Our Google Workspace™ Add-ons (including ChoiceGuard and all 864 Foundry add-ons for Google Forms™, Sheets™, Docs™, Slides™, Gmail™, and Drive™) execute inside Google Apps Script™ and store configuration state inside your own Google account using native PropertiesService (DocumentProperties and UserProperties). By default, this data:

stays on your device or inside your own Google account and is not transmitted to 864zeros or any third party, except when you explicitly export it or activate a license key;
is never sold, rented, or shared with data brokers or advertisers.

When you activate a paid lifetime license key in a Google Workspace™ Add-on (such as ChoiceGuard Pro), the add-on sends a single verification request to https://api.864zeros.com/v1/license/verify containing only your license key string, product slug, and a randomly generated anonymous installation UUID to enforce seat limits. Zero Google Forms™ responses, document contents, respondent lists, or personal Google profile data are ever transmitted to or stored on 864zeros servers.

3. Google API Services User Data Policy (Limited Use Disclosure)

864zeros'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.

Data Accessed: Depending on the specific Google Workspace™ Add-on you install, the add-on accesses only the active document, form, spreadsheet, presentation, or file in which you use it (for example, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/forms.currentonly in ChoiceGuard to read question choices, tally submission counts, and update available options when capacity limits are reached).
Data Usage: Google user data is used strictly to provide the user-facing features of the add-on directly within your Google Workspace™ session. We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements, training generalized AI/ML models, or human review.
Data Storage & Sharing: All document and form data remains within your Google account. We do not transfer, sell, or disclose Google user data to any third parties.
Data Retention & Deletion: Because add-on configuration state is stored locally in your Google account's PropertiesService, uninstalling the add-on, clicking "Deactivate / Restore" in the add-on sidebar, or deleting the underlying Google file immediately removes the associated configuration data. You may also contact [email protected] at any time to request deletion of any license activation record associated with your license key.

4. What our installed software does NOT collect

Inside our installed software products (Google Workspace™ Add-ons, browser extensions, and desktop/mobile applications), our local-first boundary is strict:

No required accounts or sign-ups to run our local-first tools.
No in-app telemetry or behavioral tracking: Our installed extensions and add-ons do not embed third-party analytics SDKs, ad networks, or behavioral trackers inside your workspace or browser session.
No access to your files or browsing history: No Google Workspace™ document, form, or sheet contents and no browser history are ever transmitted to 864zeros.
No PII behavioral data warehousing: We never build or store individual user identity profiles tied to behavioral usage in an internal data warehouse, and we never sell or rent user data.

5. Permissions & OAuth Scopes we request, and why

Our Google Workspace™ Add-ons and browser extensions request only the minimum narrow permissions needed to function:

forms.currentonly / spreadsheets.currentonly / documents.currentonly / presentations.currentonly — read and update only the active Google Workspace™ file where you launch the add-on.
script.container.ui — display the add-on's configuration sidebar inside the Google Workspace™ editor.
script.scriptapp — register installable triggers (such as onFormSubmit in ChoiceGuard) to process capacity limits automatically upon form submission.
script.external_request — perform one-time license key verification against api.864zeros.com (or user-initiated BYOK calls where applicable).
storage, tabs, sidePanel, scripting (Browser Extensions) — store data locally in your browser and act only on the tabs you explicitly select.

Each product's Google Workspace Marketplace™ or Chrome/Edge Web Store listing states its exact permissions.

6. AI features (where present)

Some products can use AI. Where they do, they follow a Bring-Your-Own-Key model: your API key is stored locally and calls go directly from your browser or session to the provider you chose. We do not proxy, log, or receive those requests. Content sent to a provider is subject to that provider's privacy policy.

7. Payments & License Customer Support

If you buy a paid product or license, payment is handled by third-party processors (such as ExtensionPay, Stripe, or official web stores). We access processor records strictly to verify license entitlement and provide reliable customer support (such as license recovery, seat resets, or refunds). We never ingest payment contact details into an internal behavioral data warehouse.

8. Public Websites, Media Channels & Marketing Analytics

While our installed software products operate with zero in-app telemetry, we actively measure and optimize our public web properties (including 864zeros.com), store listings, YouTube and social media channels, and marketing campaigns:

Web & Campaign Analytics: On our public websites and landing pages, we use standard web analytics and measurement tools (such as Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, UTM campaign parameters, link/tag click events, and ad conversion tags) to understand traffic sources, page performance, and marketing attribution.
Social & Video Platform Metrics: When you interact with our public content on YouTube, social platforms, or extension marketplaces, we collect the platform-provided analytics and engagement reports.
Internal AI/ML Analytics Loop (Aggregate Only): We feed aggregate web, search, social, and campaign reports into our internal, locally hosted analytics systems to guide product research, content strategy, and lifecycle operations. We do not combine public web analytics with payment processor records to warehouse individual user profiles.

9. Children

Our products are not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

10. Changes

We may update this policy; the "Effective" date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be noted here.
