Security risks
According to the Google Sheets Formula Generator privacy policy, data transmission and collection during use are clearly described, and user data is kept to the minimum necessary and is not used secondarily. As a Chrome extension, its operational scope is limited to assisting formula creation in Google Sheets, and it is designed not to collect excessive sensitive data such as personal information.
For these reasons, the environment is set up so that it can be used with confidence from the standpoint of security and privacy protection. Details can be found in the privacy policy.
