Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 8, 2026 · Sort Paragraphs
This Privacy Policy explains what Sort Paragraphs, a Google Docs Editor add-on, does — and does not do — with your data.
What Sort Paragraphs is
Sort Paragraphs is a Google Docs Editor add-on that sorts the paragraphs and lists you select into alphabetical order. It runs entirely inside Google's own Apps Script environment and only ever acts on the document you currently have open.
Permissions we request
documents.currentonly— View and manage documents that this application has been installed in. Sort Paragraphs only ever reads and edits the single Google Doc you have open when you run it — it cannot see or reach any other file in your Drive.script.container.ui— Display sidebars and dialogs inside Google Docs. Used to show the Sort Paragraphs menu item and options panel.
How your data is used
When you run a sort, your selected text is read and reordered entirely within Google's Apps Script environment, for the sole purpose of returning it to the document in sorted order. No document content is transmitted to the developer or to any third party, and the add-on does not use any external servers.
What we store
- The on/off state of the four sort options (Ignore English articles, Sort by last name, Keep first line, Case-sensitive), saved in your Google user properties so your preferences carry over between sessions.
- Nothing else. The text you sort is never stored, logged, or transmitted anywhere — it is read from the document, reordered, and written back, all within Google's Apps Script environment.
What we do not do
- No analytics inside the add-on.
- No accounts, sign-ups, or passwords beyond your existing Google login.
- No advertising or tracking.
- No access to your Drive, other documents, email, or any Google service beyond the permissions listed above.
