Relevant excerpts from [Frequently Asked Questions | GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org/faq)

> User profiles each have their own unique, randomly generated disk encryption key and their own unique key encryption key is used to encrypt it.

> GrapheneOS enables support for ending secondary user profile sessions after logging into them. It adds an end session button to the lockscreen and in the global action menu accessed by holding the power button. This fully purges the encryption keys and puts the profiles back at rest.

> each of those profiles still ends up with a unique key encryption key and a compromise of the OS while one of them is active won’t leak the passphrase.

So… the answer is that if the OS is compromised and the other [profile](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/common-user-profile-setups-for-android/27364) is locked, then the data is totally inaccessible. However, _active_ profiles may be compromised.

There is no spyware _publicly known_ to impact GrapheneOS.
