Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how GetLayers ("Extension", "we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. In short: inspecting pages, exporting styles and downloading files happen on your device. Data leaves your browser only in the cases listed in section 2, and only for the purpose stated there.

1. What We Do Not Collect

The Extension:

• does not track your browsing history or the websites you visit;
• does not use advertising, cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics; the only usage statistics are the anonymous counters in section 2.6, which you can turn off;
• does not send the pages you inspect, the styles you copy or the files you download to us;
• does not sell or share any data with third parties for advertising or any other purpose.

2. Data That Leaves Your Browser

2.1. License verification (Pro)

When you activate a Pro license, the Extension sends your license key to our license server (a Cloudflare Worker). The server checks the key with Gumroad, where you bought it, and answers whether the license is active. The Extension repeats this check about once a day while a key is saved. Our server keeps the answer (license status, license type, next billing date or the reason a license was revoked) for up to 24 hours to avoid asking Gumroad on every check. It does not store your name, email or purchase details. Your IP address is used only to limit the number of requests and is not stored (for a free trial, see below). Together with the key the Extension sends two random install IDs (see section 2.6); for a paid license they are not stored. In Firefox the key is sent only after you allow it in the browser's data consent prompt.

Free trial. A trial key is a free Gumroad product, so Gumroad receives the email address you enter to get it. So that a trial cannot be restarted, our server remembers when a trial started under these markers: the trial license key, the two install IDs and a one-way hash of the buyer's email address (the email itself is not stored and cannot be read back from the hash). Each record holds only the start time and is deleted automatically 365 days after the trial started. When a free trial starts for the first time, the server also keeps a keyed, irreversible hash of your network address (your IP address, or for IPv6 its network part) for 365 days, to limit repeated trials from one network. The address itself is never stored. A trial cannot be started with a throwaway email address; the address is checked and not stored. Our server also counts how many trials started per day, without any of these markers.

2.2. Feedback form

If you send feedback from the popup ("Help us get better"), the Extension sends what you wrote, the type of feedback you picked and, only if you enter it, your email address. Together with it the Extension sends technical details that help us understand the report: the Extension version, your browser name, version and operating system, the interface language and your plan (free or Pro). In Firefox the feedback is sent only after you allow it in the browser's data consent prompt, and the technical details only if you allowed technical data.

The feedback goes to our forms server (a Cloudflare Worker), is stored in its database (Cloudflare D1) and is forwarded to our team's private Telegram chat so we can read and answer it. Stored feedback is deleted automatically after 365 days. Your IP address is used to limit how many messages can be sent per day; for that purpose it is kept for one day after your last message and is not stored with your feedback. We use your email only to reply to your feedback.

2.3. Copy to Figma

When you use Copy to Figma, the Extension may download font files from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) so the copied design keeps its typography. The request contains the names of the fonts used by the element you copy. Google receives your IP address as with any web request; see the Google Privacy Policy.

2.4. Downloads

When you save images, icons, videos, fonts or files with the downloads hub, the Extension downloads them directly from the website that hosts them, as your browser would. These requests go to that website or its content servers, not to us.

2.5. MCP integration (optional)

When you turn on the MCP integration (Pro), the Extension connects to a server on your own computer (127.0.0.1). Information about the page you inspect is passed to the AI assistant you run locally and connected to it. This connection does not go over the internet and nothing is sent to us. What your AI assistant does with that information is governed by its own terms.

2.6. Anonymous usage statistics

To learn which features are useful, the Extension counts how many times each feature is used per day (for example inspecting an element, copying CSS or downloading a file) and sends these counters to our license server about every 6 hours. Each report contains only: a random device ID created by the Extension (not linked to your name, email or license key), the day, the counters, the Extension version, the browser name (such as Chrome or Firefox, without its version), the interface language and the plan (free, trial or Pro). It never contains the pages or addresses you visit, page content, what you type or copy, or the names of files.

The device ID is kept only in this browser's extension storage, so every browser counts once. For the license check (section 2.1) the Extension has a second random ID, kept also in the browser's synced storage where the browser syncs extension data; it is never sent with the statistics. The statistics never contain or store your IP address. They are stored in our database (Cloudflare D1) and deleted automatically after 180 days. We look only at totals: our server sends a daily summary of them (numbers of active installs, plans and feature use) to our team's private Telegram chat.

You can turn the statistics off at any time in the Extension's Settings ("Share anonymous usage statistics"); counters not yet sent are then deleted. In Firefox they are sent only if you allow technical and interaction data in the browser's data consent prompt.

3. Data That Stays on Your Device

The Extension uses your browser's extension storage to keep, on your device only:

• your settings (language, theme, panel position, output formats, enabled features);
• your license key, plan and the time of the last license check;
• style edits and element moves you saved for a website;
• an unsent feedback draft and a few counters used to show tips at the right time;
• the two random install IDs and the usage counters not yet sent (section 2.6);
• the list of media found on open tabs, for the current browser session only.

This data is removed when you uninstall the Extension. Deactivating a license removes the key from your device.

4. Permissions

The Extension requests the following browser permissions:

• activeTab: to inspect the tab you are on when you start the Extension;
• scripting: to add the inspector and the downloads hub to that page;
• contextMenus: to add GetLayers actions to the right-click menu;
• storage: to save the data listed in section 3 on your device;
• alarms: to schedule the daily license check, send the usage statistics and reconnect the local MCP integration;
• downloads: to save the files you choose to download;
• webRequest: to notice video and audio streams a page loads, so the downloads hub can offer them; request contents are not read or sent anywhere;
• declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: to send the request headers a website expects (such as the page address as referrer) when you download a file from it;
• sidePanel (Chrome only): to show the inspector and the downloads hub in the browser side panel;
• offscreen (Chrome only): to finish large downloads in the background, for example joining video segments into one file;
• access to our license server (getlayers-api.getlayers-help.workers.dev): for the license check in section 2.1 and the usage statistics in section 2.6;
• access to all websites (optional, asked only when you choose it): to use the Extension on any tab without clicking it first, and to read style sheets and files from other domains that a page uses.

The Extension also adds a GetLayers panel to the browser's developer tools.

5. Service Providers

• Cloudflare runs our license and forms servers and stores feedback, trial records and usage statistics (Workers, KV, D1);
• Gumroad sells licenses and confirms whether a license key is valid;
• Telegram delivers feedback and daily usage totals to our team's private chat;
• Google Fonts serves fonts for Copy to Figma.

These providers process data only to provide their service to us, under their own privacy policies.

6. Children's Privacy

The Extension is a developer tool and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Data Security

All data sent by the Extension goes over encrypted HTTPS connections. Our servers accept only the data described above, limit the request rate and size, and keep stored data no longer than stated in section 2.

8. Your Rights

You can ask us to see, correct or delete the feedback you sent, including your email address, by writing to us through the contact form (section 10). Usage statistics can be turned off in the Extension's Settings; because they are tied only to a random device ID, we cannot find them by your name or email, and they are deleted after 180 days. Data on your device can be removed by deactivating your license or uninstalling the Extension. In Firefox you can withdraw the data consent at any time in the Extension's "Permissions and data" settings.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
