Privacy Policy

The short version

GuideLayer is a Mac app built to keep your screen context, credentials, and conversation history on your machine. We don't run a GuideLayer cloud that stores what you see or say.

This page covers the app, guidelayer.app, and what happens when you buy a license.

What stays on your Mac

In the app, the following stay on your device unless you explicitly export or share them:

• AI provider credentials — stored in the macOS Keychain, device-only
• Conversation history — encrypted local store on your Mac
• Saved tutorials and checklists — stored locally
• Screenshot vault — off by default; when enabled, images stay in an encrypted vault you control
• Privacy Center settings and routing preferences

Screen capture

GuideLayer reads your screen when you ask it to — not on a background recording loop. Screen context is used to answer your question and point at the right control. We designed it so you can see which model and route are active, and adjust capture in Privacy Center.

What happens to screen data depends on which AI route you use. Local and sign-in routes keep processing closer to your machine. If you use a metered API fallback, only the context needed for that request is sent to that provider under their terms.

AI providers

GuideLayer routes through AI services you connect — for example Claude Code or Codex sign-ins you already have. We don't substitute our own model in the middle. Each provider's privacy policy applies to traffic you send through that route.

We don't train GuideLayer on your screen captures or conversations.

Purchases on guidelayer.app

If you buy a license on this site, payment is processed by Stripe. We receive your email and payment confirmation so we can deliver your license key. License delivery email is sent through Resend from a GuideLayer address.

We don't sell your email. We use it for license fulfillment and support related to your purchase.

This website

guidelayer.app is a marketing site. We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights for aggregate traffic and performance — no ad tracking. If Google Analytics is enabled, it uses a measurement ID configured in our deployment environment and follows Google's policies.

Standard server logs (IP, browser, pages visited) may be retained by our host for security and debugging, typically for a short period.

Children

GuideLayer is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product or site changes. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
