Privacy Policy for ReadRise

Last Updated: December 30, 2025

1. Introduction

ReadRise ("we", "our", or "us") is a Google Sheets™ add-on designed to assist educators in tracking high-frequency word mastery and generating flashcards. We prioritize the privacy and security of your data and, most importantly, your students' data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you use our add-on.

2. Student Data (PII)

We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to your students' Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

• Storage: All student names, word lists, mastery data, and progress reports are stored exclusively within your own Google Sheet™.

• Access: Our add-on script runs locally within your Google™ account context. We do not have a server that pulls, archives, or views your student records.

• Ownership: You retain full ownership and control of all student data.

3. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal data.

Unlike other services that require account registration or license verification, ReadRise is a standalone tool.

• No Email Collection: We do not collect, store, or access your Google User Email address.

• No External Database: We do not transmit data to any external server or database.

• No Tracking: We do not track usage statistics or user behavior.

4. How We Use Your Information

Since we do not collect any information, we do not use, sell, or trade your data.

• Service Functionality: The add-on uses Google Permissions (specifically the spreadsheets.currentonly scope) solely to perform actions you initiate, such as creating new tabs for students, formatting cells, and generating flashcards within the active spreadsheet.

5. Third-Party Services

We utilize trusted third-party services to operate the infrastructure of the code:

• Google Workspace™: The add-on is hosted on Google's infrastructure (Apps Script). Please review Google’s privacy policy for details on how they secure the Workspace environment.

6. Data Security

We utilize the native security of Google Workspace™ to protect your data.

• Local Processing: The add-on is designed to process data locally within the Google Apps Script™ environment of your specific spreadsheet. Student records never leave Google's secure infrastructure.

• Encryption: All interaction occurs within the encrypted environment of Google Sheets™ (HTTPS).

7. Data Retention and Deletion

• Student Data: Since we do not store student data, we have no retention period for it. You control the retention of this data directly within your Google Sheet™. You may delete student rows, tabs, or the entire spreadsheet at any time to permanently erase this data.

• User Data: We do not hold any user data records, so there is nothing for us to delete.

8. Google API Limited Use Disclosure

ReadRise'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.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Your continued use of the Add-on after any changes indicates your acceptance of the new terms.
