Privacy and security with Pigeonhole Live for Google Slides

The Pigeonhole Live for Google Slides add-on is designed to seamlessly integrate Pigeonhole Live interactivity within your presentations. To do so with a smooth and efficient experience, the add-on needs certain access rights within Google Slides and your Google account. These permissions allow our add-on to:

  • Interact with your Google Slides presentations to present and display interactive results
  • Use Pigeonhole Live directly within Google Slides to create, modify and display interactivity in your slides
  • Identify your account by email for support and account management purposes

We only require access that is crucial for the add-on's core functionality, and will only request and use the minimum permissions necessary to do so.

This access is strictly for the purposes described in this document. We do not access, collect, or store any data beyond what is strictly necessary for the add-on to function as intended.

You will need to agree with these permissions before installing the add-on. This article will describe each permission, and its purpose and usage. For other information relating to use of your data, please refer to our Privacy policy and Security policy.
