Notes on the Map

Layer privacy policy

Layer uses your account email, username, display name and optional bio to run your account and show your profile. Your Layers, comments, reactions, saved places, friends and groups are stored so they can be shown to the people allowed to see them. When you leave a Layer, we save its location with the post. Public Layers can show your username, content and location to other members.

With your device permission, Layer uses location to show nearby places and Layers, place a new Layer where you are, and send nearby alerts if you turn them on. Map, business search and weather requests use the location or area needed to return results. You can turn off nearby alerts in the app or change location permissions in device settings. Camera and microphone access are used when you choose to capture media. You can also choose media from your device.

If you claim a business, Layer collects the contact details and verification documents you submit. These are used to verify your authority to manage the business and are available to authorized reviewers. Do not include personal documents in a public Layer. Reports are available to authorized reviewers for moderation and support.

Layer uses Supabase for accounts, data, and file storage, Google Places for business search, and weather providers to supply local conditions. Map and referral links can open other services, which have their own privacy practices.

Request deletion in Settings → Profile → Delete account. We remove the account and associated content within seven days and email you when complete. Where records must be kept by law, those records are retained only as required. For privacy questions or help, email [email protected].
