Data Protection & Architecture

Privacy

Layr arranges windows on your Mac. It doesn’t need to know who you are, and it doesn’t send your layouts anywhere.

In short

  • No account, no analytics, no tracking, no crash reporting.
  • Your layouts, rules and settings stay on your Mac.
  • The only network requests are to activate, check and deactivate a licence with our payment provider, Dodo Payments.

Stored on your Mac

  • Layouts, per-app rules and settings, in Layr’s own folder on your Mac.
  • Trial start time and, once activated, your licence key and activation id, in your macOS Keychain, with a copy stored alongside Layr’s settings so that losing one doesn’t reset your trial or licence.
  • To place windows, Layr reads the names, titles, positions and sizes of open windows through macOS Accessibility. This stays on your Mac and is never sent anywhere. Layr doesn’t read window contents.

Sent over the network

Layr talks only to the licence service of our payment provider, Dodo Payments, and only for your licence:

  • Activation sends your licence key and a randomly generated device label.
  • Checks, about once a day when online, send your licence key and activation id.
  • Deactivation sends the same two values.

No layouts, window titles, app lists, display details or usage data are ever included. As with any internet request, the licence service can see your IP address. During the trial, before you enter a key, Layr makes no licence requests.

Buying a licence

Purchases happen on Dodo Payments’ hosted checkout, opened in your browser. Dodo Payments acts as the merchant of record and collects what it needs to process the payment and email your key, such as your name, email address, billing country and payment details, under its own privacy policy. We receive order details from Dodo Payments to support your purchase. We never see your full card details.

Your choices

  • Uninstall Layr as described in the FAQ. To also remove its saved layouts and settings, contact support for step-by-step help.

Changes

If Layr ever starts collecting anything new, this page will change before the app does, and the change will be listed in the changelog.

This policy describes the app’s behaviour as built. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional before relying on it for legal compliance.
