PRICING & PII

Domain level licensing does not require PII and is whitelisted at the domain level for all user.  Licenses which are assigned individually (including those purchased in bulk) will require collection of PII (email address only) in order to authenticate the user.  Domain level licensing is the most private way to authorize OTT-o-matic products!


Below explains why the Google Drive scopes are required for the add-on to function. 


1) Slip-n-Slide uses the “auth/drive.file” scope in conjunction with the picker used to select the student presentations.  Once selected the tool iterates through the selected files and uses the teachers own editing right to slip new slide content into each presentation. 


2) To our knowledge, the scopes cannot be modified to remove a certain component such as deleting.  The add-on does go thru a review process by Google to ensure there is no malicious intent, and we have no intent other than to help teachers teach and engage their students in rigorous content.   This product is a result of coaching teachers and finding areas in which they face challenges, and then coding solutions to help meet those challenges.  We do want to ensure you that the program only does what is described which is to take a slide deck that the teacher owns, select the slide range they would like to slip into the student presentations to continue engagement, and to follow through and slip the slide to every presentation in the folder (if the teacher has editing rights).  Nothing else is done.  No files are removed, no slides removed for that matter.  This script simply enables the teacher to do something that would be to time consuming for students and teachers to consider doing. You can look at the OTT-o-matic Privacy Policy as well for further information to use of PII data.

Managed domains like schools and businesses may require additional setup in order for Simple Audio/Video Recorder to be allowed to work.  Please contact your IT department and have them allow Simple Audio/Video Recorder.
