How Google Forms™ access is used

Form Watchdog only reads the Google Form you choose and its responses. It uses them to validate the Form, monitor new submissions, send notifications and reminders, track follow-up status, and show response details when you request them. Form Watchdog does not create, edit, or delete your Google Forms™ or responses.

If you install the Google Forms™ add-on, Google describes its forms permission as “View and manage forms that this application has been installed in”. The add-on only reads that form.
