Privacy policy

Last updated: June 2026

Layvr ("we", "us") builds tools for verified airline crew: roster sync, pay checking, layover discovery, and crew chat. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how you control it. We do not sell your data, and we never share your account with your employer or airline.

Why we collect it

Run the app: build your roster timeline, calculate pay and FTL limits, show your profile.
Verify you're real crew: badge and selfie checks keep Layvr crew-only, no randoms.
Layover discovery: show other opted-in crew at the same airport, never your exact location.
Safety: moderate reports, abuse, and harassment logs you choose to keep privately.
Improve Layvr: aggregated, de-identified usage to fix bugs and prioritize features.

Your employer cannot see your account

Layvr is not affiliated with any airline and we do not share rosters, pay data, chat content, or account activity with employers, airlines, or HR departments under any circumstance. We only respond to legally binding requests from authorities (such as a court order), and we will tell you if we are legally permitted to.

Location data

Layvr never tracks your precise GPS location continuously or in the background. Here is exactly what we do and do not collect:

Layover presence (opt-in): your current layover city or airport, derived from your imported roster. This is shown to other opted-in verified crew on the crew map during your layover window only.
Spots search: if you tap to search nearby spots (restaurants, hotels, cafés), your device may provide a one-time GPS reading to rank results. This is used only for that search and is not stored.
What we do not do: we do not track you between layovers, we do not share location with advertisers, and your airline cannot see where you are.

You can turn presence off at any time in Profile → Crew map visibility; this removes you from the map immediately and stops any roster-derived presence updates.

Payslip and roster uploads

Payslip data is treated as highly sensitive. When you upload a payslip PDF:

The PDF is sent to Layvr's backend over TLS and parsed by our payslip AI to extract pay line items (duty pay, per diem, overnights, deductions, bonuses).
The raw PDF is not stored after parsing is complete.
Parsed pay line items are stored securely on your account so you can review them and compare against your roster.
Your payslip data is never shared with your airline, HR department, or other crew.
You can delete all uploaded payslips and parsed results at any time from Profile → Payslips → Delete all.

Roster data (duties, routes, check-in times) is stored on your account to power the timeline, pay estimates, and layover features. Your roster is never shared with your airline or visible to other crew.

Messages and chat

Direct messages and group chats are encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not read your messages except to investigate a user report of abuse or harassment, or where required by law. Deleting a chat for yourself removes it from your device and account; it does not delete the other participant's copy of messages they already received.

We use a small number of infrastructure providers to run Layvr (database hosting, push notifications, crash reporting, file storage). These providers process data only on our instructions and under data-processing agreements. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers, we have no ads in Layvr.

Retention and deletion

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account. This removes your roster, payslip data, chat history, and verification photos from active systems. Some data may persist briefly in backups before automatic rotation, and we may retain minimal records where required for legal or safety reasons (e.g., an open abuse investigation).

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under UK GDPR and EU GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your data, and to object to certain processing. Email hello@layvrcrew.com and we'll respond within 30 days.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Chat content is encrypted on device before storage; this is not full end-to-end encryption against every possible reader. Access to production data is restricted to the founding team and logged. No system is 100% secure, but we treat crew data, especially verification photos and payslips, as highly sensitive.

Children

Layvr is for verified working airline crew and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

We'll update the date at the top of this page when this policy changes. Material changes (e.g., new categories of data shared with third parties) will be communicated in-app before they take effect.
