Choice Eliminator — Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

Choice Eliminator ("the add-on") is a Google Forms editor add-on that lets a form owner limit how many times each option of a choice question may be selected. This policy explains what data the add-on accesses and how it is used.

Data the add-on accesses

• The form it is installed on — its questions, options, and settings — in order to read the available choices and remove options that have reached their limit.
• The form's responses — to count how many times each option has been selected.
• Configuration you enter (per-option limits and feature toggles), stored as Document Properties attached to your form.
• Your email address — only if you enable the optional "email me when an option fills up" notification, and only to send that email to you.

How the data is used

All processing happens within Google Apps Script on Google's infrastructure, in the context of your own form. The add-on uses the data solely to enforce the limits you configure and to display usage counts in the sidebar.

Data sharing and storage

• The add-on does not send your data to the developer or any third party.
• The add-on does not store your form data on any external server. Configuration and tallies live in Google's Document Properties storage tied to your form.
• No data is sold, rented, or used for advertising.

Permissions (OAuth scopes) and why they are needed

• forms.currentonly — read and modify the current form's questions and options.
• script.container.ui — display the configuration sidebar.
• script.scriptapp — install the on-submit trigger that enforces limits.
• script.send_mail — send the optional notification email to you (only when enabled).

Data retention and deletion

Configuration and tallies remain in your form's Document Properties until you remove the add-on or clear them via the sidebar's "Turn off all" action. Uninstalling the add-on and deleting the form removes all associated data.
