Data Storage and Access

Your data is stored on the AT Protocol. If you use a grain.social handle, it may be stored on our PDS. We do not store or access data beyond the protocol's standard behavior.

Public Data

All content on Grain is public. Private uploads are not currently supported.

EXIF Metadata

We optionally collect and display EXIF metadata from your photos. At upload time, you can choose whether to allow this metadata to be collected. The metadata is stored according to standard AT Protocol storage mechanisms and is not retained outside the protocol or used for other purposes. We do not collect GPS or location data from your photos.

You can learn more about the types of metadata commonly embedded in photos at exiv2.org.

Analytics

We use Goatcounter for analytics. It is privacy-focused: no IP addresses, cookies, or personal data is collected.

No Ads or Tracking

We do not serve ads, use third-party tracking, or sell user data.

Children's Privacy

Grain is not intended for users under 13 years of age.
