Privacy policy

Updated 1 November 2026

Layometer is a layout counting, measurement and project documentation service. For questions about your information, contact ammar.smr@gmail.com.

Information we process

We process account names, email addresses, workspace membership, password hashes, account sessions, and the project content you upload or create. Project content can include drawings, annotations, measurements, notes, photos, logos, labels, progress checklists and team assignments.

Project changes record the signed-in member’s name, email, time and affected layout or object. These records are visible to members of the same workspace. Do not include sensitive personal information in drawings or photos unless you have permission to do so.

Local saving and cloud sync

The app stores projects and files on your device and syncs them to your workspace on the server. Local data may remain after signing out so the same account can continue working offline. Export a backup before clearing app or browser storage. Remember me retains a session for up to 30 days; without it, web sign-in uses a browser session cookie and Android keeps the token only for the current app process.

Device location

When GPS capture is enabled, adding a dot requests your device location with high accuracy. Each saved fix may include latitude, longitude, altitude, horizontal and vertical accuracy, and capture time. It is the device position at placement, not a calculated position of the drawn object. You can disable capture with GPS off or remove a fix in object settings. Location is stored with the object, synced to your workspace, and may appear in exported reports and schedules. Opening its Google Maps link sends those coordinates to Google. Location permissions and indoor conditions can limit accuracy; altitude may be unavailable. The app does not request background location permission.

Photos and permissions

Camera and gallery access are used when you choose to attach photos. Photos you attach become project files and may be shared with your workspace or included in exported reports.

Equipment scans, QR labels and inspection records

Serial and MAC identifiers may be entered manually or read from a camera/gallery label image. Barcode decoding and printed Latin OCR run locally using bundled libraries. Scan images are temporary unless you separately attach them to a project. Reviewed values, issues, maintenance details, inspection decisions and certificate attachments become project data, save locally, sync to your workspace and can appear in selected reports. Server-confirmed inspections record the reviewer and time. Equipment QR links identify a specific project, drawing and record; viewing its content still requires account access. Anyone receiving an exported report can read the content selected for that export.

How information is used and shared

Information is used to run the service, authenticate users, sync projects, enforce access rules, maintain change history and respond to enquiries. Workspace owners manage team membership and layout edit assignments. Unassigned members can still view layouts in their workspace. Hosting and email providers process information needed to deliver the service. Contact and demo requests are sent to the service operator by email; the sender’s address is used to reply. Layometer does not sell your project content.

Retention and your choices

Projects remain until deleted by an authorised workspace owner. Copies may remain in device storage, exported files, short-term previous sync manifests and server backups. Change history can remain after a project is deleted. Contact us to request account deletion, a copy of your information or information about backup retention. Exported files and recipients’ copies must be managed separately.

Security and essential storage

Layometer uses HTTPS, password hashing, workspace separation and session controls. The Android app encrypts remembered session tokens using Android Keystore. No system can guarantee absolute security. Essential cookies and device storage support login and offline work. This release does not include third-party advertising or marketing analytics.

Updates

This policy may change when the service changes. The updated date will be shown here. Contact the operator if a change affects your use.
