Privacy & Security

Overview

Layr is a VS Code extension that generates comprehensive, actionable project plans from natural language descriptions. Your privacy and security are our top priorities.

Data Storage

• API keys are stored locally in VS Code settings on your machine

• No personal data is collected or transmitted by the extension

• Generated plans remain on your local machine and are never sent to external servers except for AI processing

AI Provider Communication

When generating plans, Layr communicates with AI providers:

  • Default (Groq AI): Pre-configured and requires no API key. Your project descriptions are sent to Groq's API for processing.
  • Optional providers (Gemini, OpenAI, Claude): If configured, your data is sent to the respective provider's API.

All communication with external services uses secure HTTPS connections.

What We Don't Collect

  • Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Workspace contents or file data
  • Generated plans or project descriptions

Security

• The extension runs locally within your VS Code environment

• API keys are stored using VS Code's secure settings storage

• No data is transmitted to third parties except for AI processing through your chosen provider

Open Source

Layr is open source and licensed under the MIT License. You can review the complete source code on GitHub.

This transparency allows you to verify how the extension handles your data and ensure it meets your security requirements.
