Privacy Policy

Answerfinch was called Formbell until November 2026. It is the same add-on.

Last updated: November 13, 2026

This policy explains how Answerfinch, a Google Forms add-on made by Lazy Labs ("we"), handles data. Answerfinch processes your form responses in Google Apps Script under your account. Rule emails go to the recipients you choose, test emails go only to your own address, license checks use Dodo Payments, and operational diagnostics in Google logs may be accessible to Lazy Labs, as described below.

1. What Answerfinch accesses

Answerfinch requests these Google permissions:

• View and manage the form it is installed in (forms.currentonly): to read questions and responses of that form so rules can be evaluated.
• Send email as you (script.send_mail): to send the emails defined by your rules, and test emails to yourself.
• Run when you are not present (script.scriptapp): to process new responses automatically with a trigger.
• Connect to an external service (script.external_request): only to check a Pro license key with our payment provider.
• Display a sidebar (script.container.ui): to show Answerfinch inside Google Forms.
• See your email address (userinfo.email): to limit test emails to your own address.
• See your basic profile (userinfo.profile): listed for installation through Google Workspace Marketplace. Answerfinch does not read or store your profile.

2. Where data is processed and stored

• Form responses are processed inside Google Apps Script under your Google account. We do not run servers that receive your responses.
• Your rules, email templates and the send log are stored in your form's Apps Script properties in your Google account.
• The send log keeps up to the latest 200 entries per form, shared by all rules of that form, and only entries from the last 30 days can be viewed or resent. Expired entries are deleted the next time Answerfinch runs. You can delete a form's shared Answerfinch rules and log from that form. Account-data deletion removes your own Answerfinch account data and triggers; shared settings and records in other forms must be deleted from those forms. These actions do not delete the form's original responses or cancel a subscription.

3. What leaves your Google account

• Emails you configure. Answerfinch sends emails through your Google account to the recipients you set in your rules.
• License checks. If you use Pro, Answerfinch sends your license key and activation information, including an activation label or instance identifier when applicable, to our payment provider, Dodo Payments, to activate and check the license. It does not send response content, recipient addresses or email text.
• Operational logs. Answerfinch may write aggregate execution diagnostics, such as the app version, fixed error codes, counts and timings, to Apps Script or Google Cloud logs that may be accessible to Lazy Labs. These logs exclude form answers, recipient addresses, email content, license keys, authorization links, and form, response or owner identifiers. They are separate from the support diagnostics you choose to copy, and neither is a complete history of your form responses. Google may also attach execution metadata, including a temporary active user key, to these logs. This metadata is separate from the diagnostic fields Answerfinch writes.
• Support diagnostics you choose to share. The add-on can show a diagnostic summary that you can copy into a support request. It contains only the version, rule counts, counts by send state, error codes and times. It never contains responses, addresses or email content.

4. Payments

Pro subscriptions are sold by Dodo Payments as merchant of record. Dodo Payments collects and processes billing information under its privacy policy. We receive order and subscription records from Dodo Payments, such as your billing email, plan and payment status, to provide support and manage your license.

After checkout, Dodo Payments may send you back to an Answerfinch page on answerfinch.com (formbell.app for older versions of the add-on) with your license key, your billing email and order identifiers in the web address. The page's script tries to remove these details from the address bar. It shows the key for you to copy only if removal succeeds and the details pass its format checks. The page's script doesn't send these details in any further network request. Your first request for that page reaches our web host, GitHub Pages, before the page can remove these details, and GitHub may log requests under its own policies.

5. Use of Google user data

Answerfinch's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not sell data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models. Humans at Lazy Labs do not read your form data, except when you share it with us for support.

6. Data retention and deletion

• Use the add-on's form-data and account-data deletion controls before uninstalling or revoking access if you want to remove Answerfinch data. Uninstalling or revoking access alone does not establish that stored data has been deleted. Expired log entries are deleted on the next run, as described above.
• We retain subscription records as required for tax and accounting. Dodo Payments describes its retention practices in its privacy policy.
• You can revoke Answerfinch's access at any time in your Google Account under Security, Third-party apps with account access.

7. How we protect your data

We treat form responses, recipient addresses, email content and license keys as sensitive data. We protect Google user data and other sensitive data in these ways:

• Encryption in transit. License checks are the only requests the add-on makes outside Google. They use encrypted HTTPS connections to our payment provider, with certificate validation turned on and redirects turned off.
• Protected storage. In the add-on, form responses, rules, email templates, license information and the send log stay in Google's systems under your Google account. Google states that it encrypts data it stores at rest and uses encryption to keep data private in transit.
• No Answerfinch servers or database. We do not copy your form responses to our own systems. Lazy Labs has no Answerfinch feature or server for viewing them.
• Limited access. Answerfinch runs only after you grant permission through Google's consent screen. Its form access is limited to the form it is installed in, and you can revoke access at any time.
• Data minimization. License checks do not include response content, recipient addresses or email text. Operational logs and support diagnostics exclude them too, as described in section 3.
• Limited retention and deletion. The send log is limited as described in section 2, and you can delete Answerfinch data with the controls described in section 6.

8. Changes

If we change this policy, we will publish the updated policy on this page and update the date above.
