Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 15, 2026

Grammata collects only what it needs to run a writing site, doesn't sell personal information, and doesn't show ads.

4.1 What we collect

Information	Why	Who can see it
Email address	Log in, password resets, important notices	Only you (and us), unless you choose to show it on your profile
Password	Log in	Nobody: stored only as a one-way scrambled hash
Pen name, bio, avatar	Your public profile	Everyone
Works, chapters, tags, comments, kudos	The Service	Everyone (drafts: only you)
Uploaded images, video and files	Shown in your works	Everyone who can see the work
Folders, saved works, NSFW setting	Your library and preferences	Only you; hidden folders are encrypted with your folder password, which we never receive
Record of your agreement to the Site Rules (version and time)	Proof that you agreed to the Site Rules	Only you (and us)
Technical data (IP address, browser type, timestamps)	Security, preventing abuse, fixing problems	Us, kept in server logs

We use a login cookie to keep you signed in, and your browser stores display preferences (such as dark mode). We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

4.2 How we use and share it

We use information only to run, secure and improve the Service and to enforce our policies. We don't sell or rent personal information, or share it for advertising. We share it only:

with service providers that host or operate the Service for us (for example, our hosting and email providers), under confidentiality obligations;
when required by law, such as a valid subpoena or court order, and when making legally required reports (for example, to NCMEC);
to protect the safety of a person, or the rights and security of Grammata and its users; or
as part of a transfer of the Service, with notice to you.

4.3 How long we keep it

We keep account information while your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we must keep it longer by law (for example, records related to a CyberTipline report, which federal law requires us to preserve for one year) or to resolve disputes and enforce our policies. Server logs are kept for up to 90 days.

4.4 Children

Grammata has no minimum age. A child under 13 may use an account only if a parent or legal guardian creates and manages it and consents to our collection of the information described above; we collect only what is needed to run the account. If we learn that a child under 13 is using an account without a parent's consent, we will delete it and its information. Parents may review or delete their child's information, or withdraw consent, at any time. Parents can contact us at {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}.

4.5 Your choices and rights

You can view and edit your profile, change your email and password, and delete your works at any time. You can ask us for a copy of your personal information, to correct it, or to delete your account by emailing {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}. Depending on where you live (for example California, other US states with privacy laws, the UK or the EU), you may have additional rights, and we will honor valid requests as those laws require.

4.6 Security

Passwords are hashed, connections use HTTPS, and access to personal information is limited. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.

4.7 Changes and contact

We'll post any changes here and, for significant changes, notify you by email or on the Service. Questions: {{OPERATOR_NAME}} · {{MAILING_ADDRESS}} · {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}.
