Privacy Policy – Layer

Last updated: September 2026

Layer (package com.app.refits) is a wardrobe app for Android. It is built to work offline first: your clothes, outfits and plans live on your phone, and nothing leaves the device unless you sign in to back it up. This policy explains what the app stores, what it sends where, and how you can delete it.

Data Stored on Your Phone

Without an account, everything the app knows stays on your device:

• Photos of your garments and the cut-outs made from them
• Garment details you enter (category, colour, brand, price, notes) and labels the app suggests
• Outfits, wear history, planner entries and reminder times
• Your settings, such as language and temperature unit

Garment labelling and photo cut-outs run entirely on the device using on-device machine learning (Google ML Kit subject segmentation and a bundled image model). Your photos are not uploaded for this processing.

Optional Account and Cloud Backup

You can create an account with an email address and password, or sign in with Google. Signing in is only needed to back up your wardrobe and sync it between devices. When signed in we store, through Google Firebase:

• Your email address, first and last name, and an authentication identifier (Firebase Authentication)
• Your garments, outfits and planner entries (Cloud Firestore)
• Your garment cut-out images and outfit thumbnails (Cloud Storage for Firebase)

This data is readable only by your own account. Signing out keeps the wardrobe on your phone and stops syncing.

Permissions and What They Are Used For

• Camera – to photograph garments. Photos are saved on your device.
• Location – to fetch the weather for outfit suggestions. Your approximate coordinates are sent to the Open-Meteo weather service (open-meteo.com). No account or identifier is sent with the request, and we do not store your location.
• Calendar (optional) – if you allow it, the planner reads the titles and times of upcoming events to suggest outfits. Calendar data is read on the device only and is never uploaded or stored by us.
• Notifications and exact alarms – to show the morning outfit reminders you schedule.
• Photos / media – to import existing pictures of garments and to receive images shared from other apps.

Third-Party Services

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage) – account and backup, only when you sign in
• Google Firebase Analytics – anonymous usage statistics such as app opens and crashes, used to keep the app working
• Google Play services / ML Kit – on-device image segmentation for garment cut-outs
• Open-Meteo – weather forecasts for your coordinates
• Logo.dev – when you enter a brand, its logo is fetched from img.logo.dev using the brand name only

We do not show ads and we do not sell or share your data with anyone else.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete your account and all of its data directly in the app:

1. Open Layer
2. Go to Profile
3. Select Delete account and confirm with your password or Google account

This immediately and permanently removes:

• Your wardrobe, outfits, planner and images stored in the cloud
• Your authentication account, name and email
• Everything stored on the phone, returning the app to a fresh install

If you use the app without an account, uninstalling it or clearing its storage removes all data, since nothing is kept elsewhere. If you can no longer access the app, email the address below and we will delete the account for you.

Children’s Privacy

This app is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
