Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 30, 2026

Granary ("we", "our") is a neighborhood sharing app for shelf-stable food and household essentials. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have questions, write to granary.usa@gmail.com.

Information we collect

• Account information. When you sign up we collect your email address, display name, and neighborhood. Your email is used only to operate your account (sign-in, security notices).
• Listings. When you post an offer or request we collect the title, description, category, quantity, photos you upload, and an approximate location (see Location below).
• Pickup details. If you post a listing, you may provide an exact pickup address and notes. This is shown only to you and to the neighbor whose claim you accept — never on the public map or feed.
• Claims and messages. We store claims, their status, and messages you exchange to coordinate pickups.
• Location. Listing locations shown to other users are always approximate (jittered) — never your exact address. Exact addresses are only shared as described above.
• Device and usage. We collect basic, non-identifying diagnostics (e.g., app version, crash reports) to keep the app working.

How we use information

• To operate the app: accounts, listings, claims, and pickup coordination.
• To show nearby listings (approximate distances only).
• To keep the community safe: enforcing claim limits, preventing abuse.
• To communicate with you about your account or support requests.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not show ads. We do not share your data with data brokers.

How we share information

• With other users, only as you choose. Your display name and approximate listing location are visible to neighbors. Your exact pickup address is revealed only when you accept someone's claim.
• Service providers. Our database and hosting are provided by Supabase, Inc., which processes data on our behalf under its own security practices. Voluntary contributions are processed by PayPal; PayPal's privacy policy applies to payment information.
• Legal. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

Data retention and your choices

• You can edit your profile, listings, and pickup details at any time in the app.
• You can delete individual listings; deleted listings are removed from the feed.
• To delete your account and associated personal data, write to granary.usa@gmail.com and we will remove it within 30 days, except where we must retain records for legal or safety reasons.

Children

Granary is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your California privacy rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act:

• Right to know. You may request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to delete. You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to exceptions (e.g., legal obligations, safety).
• Right to opt out of sale. We do not sell your personal information. We have not sold personal information in the past 12 months.
• Right to non-discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights, email granary.usa@gmail.com with the subject "CCPA Request." We will verify your identity and respond within 45 days.

Categories of personal information we collect: Identifiers (name, email), commercial information (listings), internet activity (app usage), geolocation (approximate), and user-generated content (photos, messages).

Security

We use industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections and database-level access rules, so users can only see data they are entitled to (for example, exact addresses are technically restricted to the listing owner and the accepted claimer). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
