Required Permissions

HAL requests the following Google permissions:

  • View and manage documents — to read paragraph text and apply visual marks
  • Display sidebar — to show the HAL sidebar panel
  • Connect to external service — to sync audit logs with the HAL backend (paid plans)

HAL never reads or stores your document content on external servers. All marking happens locally inside Google Docs.
