Product Privacy Notice

Effective Date: October 5, 2026
Last Updated: October 9, 2026

This Product Privacy Notice explains how Slides from Photos, a Google Slides add-on operated by DZS Infinity LLC under the DZS Labs brand, accesses, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the add-on.

This notice supplements the general DZS Labs Privacy Policy available at:

https://dzslabs.site/privacy.html

If this Product Privacy Notice provides more specific information about Slides from Photos than the general DZS Labs Privacy Policy, this Product Privacy Notice applies to Slides from Photos.

1. About Slides from Photos

Slides from Photos is a Google Slides Editor add-on that helps users turn selected photos into Google Slides, creating one photo per slide.

Users can select photos from:

Google Drive;
Google Photos; or
their computer.

The add-on also provides features including:

configurable photo ordering;
Fit and Fill image placement;
batch progress tracking;
Resume for supported interrupted jobs;
photo-set verification; and
completed, skipped, and failed processing status.

2. Google Permissions Used by Slides from Photos

Slides from Photos requests only the Google permissions required to provide its disclosed functionality.

The production application uses the following OAuth scopes:

Google Slides

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/presentations

Slides from Photos uses this permission to create and update slides in the Google Slides presentation being processed by the user.

The add-on uses this access only to provide the photo-to-slides functionality requested by the user.

Google Drive

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file

Slides from Photos uses this permission when the user selects photos from Google Drive.

This permission is limited to files that the user selects, creates, or otherwise makes available to the application through Google's supported file-selection and authorization mechanisms.

Slides from Photos does not request the broad Google Drive scope or the drive.readonly scope.

Google Photos Picker

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photospicker.mediaitems.readonly

Slides from Photos uses this permission when the user explicitly chooses Google Photos as the photo source.

The application processes media items selected by the user through the Google Photos Picker for the purpose of creating the requested slides.

Slides from Photos does not use this permission to browse the user's entire Google Photos library independently of the user's selection.

External requests

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request

This permission allows the add-on to make network requests required for supported product functionality.

It does not itself provide access to additional Google Account data.

Any Google user data obtained through Google APIs remains subject to the uses and restrictions described in this notice.

Google Slides container interface

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui

Slides from Photos uses this permission to display and operate its user interface within Google Slides.

This permission is used to provide the add-on interface and does not provide general access to unrelated Google Account data.

3. Google User Data We Access

Depending on the source and features selected by the user, Slides from Photos may process the following Google user data.

Google Slides data

The add-on may access information required to create or update slides in the presentation in which the user is working.

This access is used to:

create slides;
place selected photos onto slides;
apply the selected Fit or Fill behavior;
continue supported batch operations; and
report processing results.

Google Drive data

When Google Drive is selected as the source, Slides from Photos processes only the Drive files the user chooses or otherwise makes available to the application.

This may include information necessary to process the selected files, such as file content and associated file metadata required for the requested operation.

Google Photos data

When Google Photos is selected as the source, Slides from Photos processes only media items explicitly selected through the Google Photos Picker.

The selected media is used to create the slides requested by the user and to support the associated batch workflow.

4. Photos Selected From Your Computer

Slides from Photos also allows users to select image files from their computer.

These files are not accessed through Google Drive or Google Photos permissions.

Local files are processed only after the user explicitly selects them for use with Slides from Photos.

They are used for the requested photo-to-slides operation and related batch functionality.

5. How We Use Your Data

Slides from Photos uses information only as necessary to provide and maintain its user-facing functionality.

This includes using selected photos and related information to:

create one slide per selected photo;
determine the selected photo order;
apply Fit or Fill placement;
track batch progress;
continue supported interrupted batches;
verify that a resumed batch corresponds to the originally selected photos;
identify processing problems;
calculate completed, skipped, and failed items; and
display the final processing result.

Slides from Photos also uses the limited pseudonymous analytics described in Section 13 to measure product usage and reliability and to improve the product.

Google user data is not used for unrelated purposes.

6. Raw, Aggregated, Anonymized, and Derived Google User Data

Slides from Photos accesses the raw Google user data described in this notice only as necessary to provide the user-facing functionality requested by the user.

Slides from Photos does not request separate aggregated or anonymized datasets from Google APIs.

The product may generate limited derived operational information necessary to provide batch processing, progress, Resume, verification, recovery, and processing-result functionality.

Raw Google user data, and any information aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, or derived from that data, remains subject to the same use, transfer, security, retention, and Limited Use restrictions described in this notice.

Slides from Photos does not use raw, aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, or derived Google user data for advertising, profiling, data brokerage, creditworthiness, lending, or unrelated purposes.

7. Batch Progress and Resume Data

Slides from Photos maintains limited processing state and job metadata necessary to provide batch progress, Resume, photo-set verification, recovery from supported interruptions, and processing-result functionality.

Depending on the workflow, this operational information may include batch progress, item-level processing status, verification information used to confirm that a resumed batch corresponds to the originally selected photo set, and completed, skipped, or failed processing results.

This batch state may be derived from or associated with the photos and Google resources selected by the user, but it is used only to operate and maintain the user-requested Slides from Photos workflow.

Slides from Photos does not use batch or job information for advertising, profiling, data brokerage, creditworthiness, lending, generalized AI/ML model training, or unrelated purposes.

The job state is separate from the user's Google authorization. Revoking Google authorization does not by itself guarantee immediate deletion of existing batch state where that state remains reasonably necessary or legally permitted, as further described in the retention, removing-access, and deletion sections of this notice.

8. Data Storage and Retention

Slides from Photos retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including supported batch processing, Resume, verification, recovery, processing-result functionality, and the limited product analytics described in Section 13.

Limited batch state and job metadata may remain available when reasonably necessary to allow a user to continue or recover a supported interrupted job.

Analytics data processed through Google Analytics is subject to the retention settings configured for the DZS Labs Google Analytics property and Google's applicable service terms.

Slides from Photos does not retain Google user data or derived batch information for advertising, profiling, data brokerage, creditworthiness, lending, generalized AI/ML model training, or unrelated purposes.

When stored information is no longer reasonably necessary for its disclosed product purpose, it is deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law, Google platform requirements, and the DZS Labs Privacy Policy.

Users may contact DZS Labs regarding applicable stored product information or deletion requests using the contact information provided in this notice.

10. Google API Services User Data Policy

Slides from Photos' use and transfer of raw or derived user data received from Google Workspace APIs and Google Photos APIs adheres to the applicable Google User Data and Developer Policies, including the Limited Use requirements.

These restrictions apply to raw Google user data and to information aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, or derived from that data.

Google user data is used only to provide or improve user-facing functionality that is visible and relevant to the user.

Slides from Photos does not use Google user data for advertising, creditworthiness, lending, data brokerage, profiling, or other prohibited purposes.

Slides from Photos does not use raw, aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, or derived data received from Google Workspace APIs or Google Photos APIs to develop, improve, or train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

Slides from Photos does not transfer Google Workspace API or Google Photos API user data to third-party artificial intelligence or machine-learning services.

Human access to Google user data is limited to circumstances permitted by applicable Google policies, such as when:

the user has provided appropriate authorization;
access is necessary for security purposes;
access is required by law; or
another use is expressly permitted by Google's applicable policies.

11. Security

DZS Labs uses reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect information processed by Slides from Photos against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or loss.

Access to Google user data is limited to the permissions and functionality required by the product.

No method of electronic processing or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Advertising and Data Monetization

Slides from Photos does not use Google user data for advertising.

Google user data is not sold.

Google user data is not used for personalized advertising, retargeting, interest-based advertising, advertising profiles, or data brokerage.

Any future monetization of Slides from Photos, including paid product features or subscriptions, does not change these restrictions on the use of Google user data.

13. Product Analytics and Diagnostics

Slides from Photos uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) through the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol to collect limited pseudonymous product usage analytics.

DZS Labs uses this analytics information to understand use of the core Slides from Photos workflow, measure product reliability, and improve the product.

The analytics implementation may process:

a random pseudonymous analytics identifier generated by Slides from Photos and stored in Google Apps Script UserProperties;
the Slides from Photos product identifier;
product lifecycle events, such as opening the add-on, starting a batch, completing a batch, using Resume, or reaching a genuine terminal batch failure;
the normalized photo source type, such as Google Drive, Google Photos, or computer;
a batch-size range rather than the exact contents of the selected batch; and
the selected Fit or Fill layout mode.

The pseudonymous analytics identifier is randomly generated. It is not derived from the user's name, email address, Google Account identifier, Google Drive identity, Google Photos identity, presentation identity, filenames, URLs, or user content.

Slides from Photos does not send the following information to Google Analytics as part of this product analytics implementation:

names;
email addresses;
Google Account identifiers;
filenames;
Google Drive file or folder identifiers;
Google Photos media or album identifiers;
photo URLs;
Google Slides presentation identifiers or titles;
slide content;
image content;
batch or Job identifiers;
revision identifiers;
raw exception messages;
stack traces; or
the exact contents of a selected photo batch.

The limited analytics information described above is transmitted to Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC.

DZS Labs uses this analytics information only for product usage measurement, reliability measurement, and product improvement. It is not used for advertising, personalized advertising, profiling, data brokerage, creditworthiness, lending, or developing, improving, or training artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

Analytics processing is separate from the core photo-to-slides operation. A failure of the analytics service does not prevent Slides from Photos from performing its user-requested functionality.

14. Removing Access

Users can remove Slides from Photos' access to their Google Account through Google's account permission controls.

Removing authorization prevents the application from continuing to use that authorization to access Google services.

Uninstalling or removing authorization does not necessarily remove processing state that may already exist independently of the Google authorization where retention is still necessary or permitted.

Users may contact DZS Labs to request information about applicable stored product data or deletion.

15. Data Deletion Requests

Slides from Photos does not require users to create a separate DZS Labs account.

Users can revoke Slides from Photos' access to their Google Account at any time through their Google Account permission settings.

If Slides from Photos retains limited product data or job metadata associated with a user's use of the add-on, users may request deletion of applicable personal information by contacting:

[email protected]

Deletion requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law, Google platform requirements, and the DZS Labs Privacy Policy.

Certain information may be retained where reasonably necessary or legally required for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or other legitimate obligations.

16. Children

Slides from Photos is a productivity tool and is not designed to independently collect personal information from children.

Where the add-on is used in an educational environment, the user or organization using the product is responsible for ensuring that its use complies with applicable institutional policies, consent requirements, and law.

Slides from Photos processes the content selected by the user to provide the requested functionality.

Slides from Photos functionality changes;
permissions or Google API usage changes;
