Privacy policy
APS & AI Solutions Hub is an experimental BIM application created and developed by Pravin Yadav, BIM specialist at Dar Al-Handasah. This policy describes this application's data handling.
Identity and profile
Autodesk verifies your identity. We store your Autodesk user ID, email, verification status, name, access decision and sign-in activity. You may choose a separate display name and optional job title, organization, timezone and biography. We never receive or store your Autodesk password.
Project data and providers
Project files are stored and translated through Autodesk Platform Services. The application stores project access lists, file references, metadata, saved reviews, notes and reports. Only approved members with the relevant project role may access a project's tools. Owners choose collaborators by verified Autodesk email.
Personal APS and Gemini credentials are optional. They are submitted over HTTPS and stored encrypted on the server. The application never returns saved client IDs, API keys or secrets to browsers or the admin dashboard. The application operator controls the hosting environment and encryption configuration.
AI processing
When you enable cloud AI for a task, the configured Google Gemini service may receive your question, indexed model metadata, project guidance and relevant tool results. The chat flow does not send RVT geometry files. Leave cloud AI disabled to use local evidence tools. Google and Autodesk apply their own service terms and privacy policies.
Telemetry and cookies
A necessary HttpOnly cookie maintains your signed-in session. Browser storage retains appearance choices and some project preferences. Optional first-party analytics records only supported page names and event types when you opt in. It uses no advertising tracker and records no IP address, API key, chat text or model path. Minimal server and browser error records contain error codes, normalized route or script names and timestamps, without request bodies or query strings.
Retention and backups
Sessions expire after eight hours. Analytics and error records are retained for up to 30 days, bounded to the most recent 1,000 entries each. Access history retains the latest 500 events. Encrypted application restore points are retained for seven days. Downloaded backups are controlled by the application operator and require the matching server encryption configuration.
Project records remain until their owner removes the workspace. Deleting a project removes access but retains the original Autodesk storage objects, including files attached elsewhere. Removing your connection deletes its active encrypted credentials; encrypted backups may retain a prior copy until expiry.
Your choices
Use Profile & keys to change your display profile, disconnect personal services, opt out of optional analytics, sign out other sessions or delete your application account. Delete owned projects first. Deleting the application account does not delete your Autodesk account, project records held by other owners or original Autodesk storage objects. A later Autodesk sign-in creates a new application access request.
