What stays on your phone

History, bookmarks, tabs, downloads and settings are kept on this phone only. None of it is sent to the developer. The error log is written on the phone only, too.

Where Gram itself connects

Pages and downloads come straight from the sites you visit, and a userscript you install comes from the address you installed it from. Apart from that Gram only contacts: easylist.to, to download its ad and tracker lists; your chosen search engine, for suggestions as you type (off while a proxy is on); cloudflare.com, when you tap "Test" on the Proxy screen (to show your IP address); Sentry (sentry.io, servers in Germany), to send a crash report when Gram crashes; Mixpanel (mixpanel.com, servers in the EU), for anonymous usage statistics; the App Store and RevenueCat (revenuecat.com), for purchases. While Country proxy or your own Proxy is on, pages and downloads go through that proxy server instead.

Usage statistics and ads

Gram shows no ads and has no advertising or tracking SDK. To learn what to improve, it sends anonymous usage statistics to Mixpanel: which Gram screens are opened and which buttons are tapped; that a download started, finished or failed, with its kind and size but not its name; how many tabs are open; which settings are changed; and the phone model, iOS and Gram versions, language and the country set in the phone’s region settings. It never includes which sites you visit, page titles, what you search for or type, or the names of files and folders — your history stays on this phone. It is not linked to you: there is no account, the ID is random and made on this phone, and your IP address is not used to find where you are. It is not used for advertising or shared with anyone. Turn it off any time in Settings → Privacy → Usage statistics. With a proxy on, the proxy server sees the sites (see below).

Crash reports

When Gram crashes or hits an error, it sends a report to Sentry, the service the developer uses to find and fix bugs. A report says where in Gram’s code it went wrong, which Gram screen was open, the phone model and the iOS and Gram versions, roughly how long things took, and what the phone did just before, such as running low on memory or Gram going to the background. Before it leaves the phone every web address and file path is taken out of it, so it never says which sites you visited, what you searched for or what you downloaded. It is not linked to you: there is no account, and no IP address is kept with it. Turn it off any time in Settings → Privacy → Crash reports.

Country proxy

Off until you turn it on (Gram Plus). While it is on, only the Gram browser’s pages and downloads go through a proxy server in the country you pick. The servers are run by Webshare, a proxy provider the developer pays for. Webshare sees your IP address and the address of each site you open, and the content of pages that don’t use HTTPS. Webshare may keep connection logs under its own privacy policy; the developer doesn’t sell or share any data from them. The link to the proxy isn’t encrypted (SOCKS5), and calls and other apps don’t go through it. Turned off, nothing goes to Webshare.

Send to computer

Files are served only to a computer on the same Wi-Fi network, and only while that screen is open. Nothing is uploaded to the internet.

Purchases

Gram Plus is bought through the App Store. Apple handles the payment; Gram never sees card details. RevenueCat checks the purchase for Gram: it receives what was bought and a random ID made on this phone, never your name, Apple ID or card.
