Privacy Policy

Applicability of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy, together with our Cookies Policy, applies to the Bimmatch platform and to your use of the Services, and covers all registered Users and visitors to the Bimmatch platform.

It does not apply to third-party applications or services that integrate with the Services ("Third-Party Services"), such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, Plant 3D or Civil 3D themselves, which are governed by their own providers' privacy policies. Where your organization has its own contract with Bimmatch (a "Customer Contract"), that contract governs access to and use of the corresponding Customer Services, and your organization's own terms of use and privacy policy may also apply to its processing of your data within a project.

What is Information and what is Personal Data?

"Information" is a general term covering both personal and non-personal data. Where Information relates to an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected under applicable data protection law, we refer to it in this Privacy Policy as "Personal Data."

Personal Data does not include information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to an identifiable person; Bimmatch may use such non-personal data for any business purpose, such as improving the accuracy of our AI matching and compliance analytics.

Your acceptance of this Privacy Policy

Your continued use of the Services on or after the effective date means you accept this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, sharing, storage and other processing of your Information described here. If you register a User Account, this Privacy Policy is expressly incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use. If you are not comfortable with any part of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. Where we make material changes, or changes that affect your rights or choices regarding your Information, we will notify you through the Service. If you object to a change you may close your account; continuing to use the Services after a change is published means you agree to the updated Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect?

We collect Information in several ways depending on the Services you use. It is never compulsory to provide Personal Data, but without certain information you will not be able to create a User Account or use the Services.

Sensitive Personal Data

We do not ask you to provide data about race, ethnicity, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, health, sexual orientation or criminal record ("Sensitive Personal Data"). If you nonetheless include such information anywhere in the Services, it will be visible in the same way as any other information you provide.

Information we collect

When you register a User Account, you will be asked to provide:

• Your name and email address;
• Your organization, role and country; and
• A password (or authentication via a supported identity provider).

You may optionally provide a phone number and a profile picture.

Project and organization content. We collect the BIM and CAD models, drawings, specifications, contracts and other documents you upload to a project, along with the properties, RFIs, submittals and change orders recorded against them.

AI Chat. We collect the questions you ask and the conversation history within AI Chat, so we can generate cited answers and so you can return to a past thread.

Analytics and compliance data. We collect usage and compliance data generated as the Service compares your model against your specifications — for example, which elements are connected, drifted or missing a required reference.

Materials and CO2e data. We collect the material quantities and CO2e (A1–A3) calculations generated by the estimator, and any alternative materials you review or select.

Market Construction Products. We collect your search, filter and shortlist activity, and information you choose to share with a manufacturer or supplier when requesting information about a product.

Bimmatch Off-line. When you use the Bimmatch Off-line app, we collect the property edits, photos, videos and files you capture against an element, together with the timestamp of capture; this data is stored on the device until it can sync to your project.

Connector data. Where you use the Autodesk Revit, Plant 3D or Civil 3D add-ins, or the Autodesk Construction Cloud connector, we collect the model and document data you publish through them.

Log, device and cookie data. As with most web services, we automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, access times, and cookie data — see our Cookies Policy for details.

How do we use your information?

We use your Information for the following purposes:

• To provide the Services — authenticating you, running AI Chat, compliance analytics, the CO2e estimator and Market Construction Products, and syncing Bimmatch Off-line data back to your project.
• To operate your organization's workspace — so your colleagues can collaborate with you within a shared project or organization.
• To connect you with manufacturers and suppliers — where you choose to request information about a product through Market Construction Products, we share the details necessary to respond to your request.
• To maintain and support the Services — diagnosing issues, monitoring usage and trends, and responding when you request help.
• To communicate with you — responding to your requests, and sending service updates that are part of the Services and cannot be opted out of.
• For security — investigating suspected fraud, abuse or violations of our binding documents.
• For marketing — sending product news and offers, always with an opt-out.
• To comply with law — cooperating with authorities where legally required.
• To improve the Services — improving the accuracy of AI matching, compliance analytics and CO2e estimation based on aggregated, de-identified usage patterns.

How do we protect Personal Data?

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration or destruction, and continuously monitor our systems. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that information transmitted over the internet or stored on our servers will never be compromised. If you believe your account or Information has been compromised, contact us immediately at [email protected].

How we share your Personal Data

• Within your organization and project. Information relevant to a User Project is visible to the other Users and organizations collaborating on it.
• Manufacturers and suppliers. Where you request information about a product through Market Construction Products, your name, organization and contact details may be shared with the relevant manufacturer or supplier so they can respond to you.
• Service providers and subcontractors. We use subcontractors, for example for cloud hosting and computing, who may process Information strictly on our instructions and only for the purposes described here.
• Third-Party Services. Where you choose to connect a Third-Party Service (such as an Autodesk product), Information may be shared with it subject to that provider's own privacy practices.
• Change in business. If Bimmatch is party to a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets, Information may be shared or transferred subject to standard confidentiality protections.
• Legal obligation. We may disclose Information where we believe in good faith that we are legally required to do so.
• To protect rights and security. We may disclose Information to protect the rights, property or safety of Bimmatch, our users or the public, or to investigate fraud or security issues.
• With your consent. We may share Information with third parties where you have given us consent to do so.
• Non-personal data. We may share aggregated or de-identified Information that does not identify you.

Cross-border transfers

Bimmatch is used by organizations and Users around the world, and delivering the Services means processing, storing and transferring Information to countries outside your own, including countries that have not been given an adequacy finding by the EU Commission and that may offer different legal protections for Personal Data than your home jurisdiction. Where this applies, we take reasonable steps — including standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard where required — to ensure your Information continues to receive an appropriate level of protection, and we rely on the legal grounds described under "Legal grounds for processing" below to do so.

Cookies

The Bimmatch platform uses cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and understand how the Services are used. Please read our Cookies Policy for full details and your choices.

Age limitation

Our Services are not intended for anyone under the legal age required to enter into a binding agreement in their jurisdiction. If we learn that we hold Information provided in breach of this Privacy Policy, we will remove it.

Legal grounds for processing of your information

Bimmatter Ltd. is the data controller in respect of your Information on the Bimmatch platform, save for Customer Data where your organization is the controller and Bimmatch acts as processor under its Customer Contract. Where the GDPR applies to our processing, we rely on the following legal grounds:

• Consent — for example, for marketing communications and, where applicable, cross-border transfers. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
• Contract — processing necessary to provide the Services under our Terms of Use.
• Legitimate interest — for example, to maintain and secure the Services and improve the accuracy of our AI features, provided this does not override your rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation — where processing is required by applicable law.

If you have questions about the legal grounds for our processing, contact us at [email protected].

Your choices, obligations and rights

Data retention, access and deletion

We keep your Personal Data while your User Account remains open so we can provide you with the Services, and you can access or correct most of it directly in your account. You may request a copy of the Information we hold about you at any time by writing to [email protected].

Closure of your account

We securely delete your Information once you close your account, except where we must retain some Information to meet a legal obligation, resolve a dispute, prevent fraud, or enforce our Terms of Use.

Right to information and to be forgotten

You are entitled to information about how your Personal Data is processed, and to have it deleted from the Bimmatch platform in appropriate circumstances, by contacting [email protected] or closing your account.

Right to complain

If you are unhappy with how we handle your Personal Data, you may lodge a complaint with the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority, or, if you are located in the European Economic Area, with your local data protection authority.
