Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 27, 2026

BeautifulGrids ("we", "us", "our") operates beautifulgrids.com. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

What we collect

Account info: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. We use this to create your account and identify you.
Payment info: Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. Stripe provides us with your subscription status and customer ID.
Google Drive access: We request access to create and manage files in your Google Drive that our app creates (drive.file scope). We cannot access any other files in your Drive.
Images: Images you upload are stored in a "BeautifulGrids" folder in your own Google Drive. We cache them on our servers for up to 2 hours while rendering, then automatically delete them. Your images are never used to train any model.
Interaction telemetry (opt-in only): By default we do not collect data about how you use the editor (which settings you adjust, what crops you keep). A toggle in Settings lets you opt in to share pseudonymous interaction patterns — which would help us understand what good layouts look like and may inform future product features and our own models. Your photos and content are never collected for this purpose. You can change this anytime, and we never share it with third parties.

How we use your data

What we don't do

We never store your images on our servers beyond a 2-hour render cache that is automatically deleted; we never copy them anywhere else
