Calrows
Privacy policy
Last updated: 13 September 2026
Calrows is a Google Sheets add-on that syncs spreadsheet rows with Google Calendar events. This policy explains what data the add-on accesses, what it does with it, and what it never does.
What Calrows accesses, and why
| Google permission | What it lets Calrows do | Why it is needed |
|---|---|---|
| View and manage the spreadsheet the add-on is used in (spreadsheets.currentonly) | Read the rows you choose to sync and write event IDs, imported events, timesheets and the Sync Log into that spreadsheet. | The sheet is the source and destination of the sync. Calrows cannot see any other spreadsheet. |
| See, edit, share and permanently delete calendars you can access (calendar) | List your calendars, create, update and delete events in the calendar you pick, and read events for imports and timesheets. | Creating and updating events is the purpose of the add-on. Deleting is used only by "Remove events for deleted rows", which you trigger, and only for events Calrows itself created. |
| Display and run content in prompts and sidebars (script.container.ui) | Show the sidebar. | The user interface. |
| Run when you are not present (script.scriptapp) | Continue a long sync after Google's time limit, and run automatic sync on the schedule you set. | Large sheets and the Pro automatic sync. |
| Connect to an external service (script.external_request) | Ask our licence server whether your Google account has a Pro subscription. | To unlock Pro features. Only your email address is sent. |
| See your primary Google account email address (userinfo.email) | Identify your account for the free-plan counter and the Pro check. | So that a Pro purchase can be tied to your Google account without creating another login. |
What Calrows stores
- Inside your own spreadsheet: a hidden column of event IDs, a hidden tab listing the events Calrows created, a Sync Log tab, and your column mapping and calendar choice. This data lives in your Google Drive, under your control, and is removed when you delete those tabs or the spreadsheet.
- In Google's Apps Script properties for your account: a monthly count of new events created on the free plan, and a cached answer to "is this account Pro". Nothing else.
- On our licence server: only for paying customers, the email address you gave at checkout, your plan, and its expiry date. Payment details are held by Paddle, our merchant of record, never by us.
Calrows does not store your spreadsheet contents or your calendar events on any server we operate. All sync work happens inside Google's Apps Script environment, between your sheet and your calendar.
What Calrows never does
- Never sells, rents or shares your data with anyone.
- Never uses your data for advertising, profiling or training models.
- Never reads spreadsheets other than the one you open the add-on in.
- Never reads calendars you did not select, except to list their names in the calendar picker.
- Never emails you from the add-on. Support replies come from support@calrows.com only when you write to us.
