Outlayer helps businesses find recurring charges in their bank and card statements. This policy explains what we collect, why, where it lives, and how to get rid of it.
Your email address, and optionally a company name. We use email-based sign-in links, so we never ask for or store a password.
If you connect a bank or card account, we use Plaid to read your transaction history. This access is read-only. We cannot move money, make payments, or cancel anything on your behalf.
From that history we store, for each recurring charge we detect:
We also store the institution name, account name, and the last four digits only of any connected account. We do not store full account numbers.
Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep a Stripe customer ID, a subscription ID, your plan, and your subscription status.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising. We use these processors to run the service:
| Processor | What it handles |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database and authentication (hosted in AWS us-west-2) |
| Vercel | Application hosting |
| Plaid | Read-only bank and card connections |
| Stripe | Subscription billing |
| Anthropic | The in-app assistant (see below) |
When you ask the assistant a question, we send your question along with your list of recurring charges — vendor names, amounts, categories and dates — to Anthropic's API to generate a reply. We do not send your raw transaction history, your account numbers, or your Plaid credentials. If you would rather no charge data left our systems, do not use the assistant.
We do not hold a SOC 2 report or any other third-party security certification, and we do not claim to. If that is a requirement for you, we are not the right fit yet.
Depending on where you live you may have additional rights over your personal data, including access, correction, deletion and portability. Contact us and we will honour them.
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top, and for material changes we will email you before the change takes effect.
