Privacy

Last updated October 31, 2026. Grain by Joy is Joy Alexander’s woodworking site. This page explains the information collected when you use its forms.

Information you send

Newsletter signups store your name, email address, and the time you consented. If you share a build or leave a note in Makers Club, we store the details and photos you submit, your display name, email address, and submission time. Your email is used to review or contact you about your contribution and is not shown with a published build or note.

What appears publicly

Joy reviews community submissions and notes before publication. Approved posts can show the project title, story, photos, display name, and optional website you provided. Please share only photos and details you want displayed.

Files and service providers

The site uses hosting, database, and file storage services to serve pages, save submissions, and protect the service. Basic technical records such as IP addresses and browser requests may be processed by those services for operation and security. Instagram content or links may take you to Instagram, which has its own privacy practices.

Advertising

Advertisements are not currently active. If Google advertising is enabled later, Google and other vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on visits to this or other sites. You can control personalized ads in Google’s My Ad Center. We will update this notice and any required consent controls before activating advertising.

Your choices

You can ask to correct or remove a community submission or newsletter signup. Reach Joy through @grainbyjoy on Instagram. Please include enough information to locate your submission, but do not post your email publicly.
