Privacy Policy — Enlazo
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Enlazo ("the Add-in"), developed and published by AvantLeap ("we", "us", "our"), handles information when you install and use the Add-in within Autodesk® Revit®.
Enlazo is a Revit add-in that assigns parameter values from parent elements to nearby child elements within a Revit project using proximity detection. It operates entirely within the local Revit environment, writing parameter values to model elements and maintaining a local assignment log on the user's machine. It has no cloud features and performs no external data transmission except for the Autodesk App Store licence validation described in section 3.2.
By installing and using Enlazo, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Add-in.
2. Who Is the Data Controller
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws, AvantLeap is the data controller for any personal data processed by the Add-in.

3. What Data the Add-in Processes
3.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Machine
When you use the Enlazo assign workflow, the Add-in writes an assignment log to your machine in JSON format.
File location: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\AvantLeap\Tools\Enlazo\{ProjectName}\{RevitVersion}\enlazo_log.json
| Field | Description | Personal Data? |
|---|---|---|
Timestamp |
ISO-8601 date and time of the assignment | No |
ProjectName |
Revit file name (without extension), derived from the open document | No |
RevitVersion |
Revit version number (e.g., "2026") | No |
ParentCategoryName |
Revit category name of the parent element (e.g., "Structural Columns") | No |
ParentElementId |
Revit internal integer element ID of the parent | No |
ParentElementName |
Display name of the parent element as stored in Revit | No |
ParentParameterName |
Name of the parameter read from the parent element | No |
ParentParameterValue |
Value of that parameter on the parent element | No |
ChildCategoryName |
Revit category name of the child element | No |
ChildElementId |
Revit internal integer element ID of the child | No |
ChildElementName |
Display name of the child element as stored in Revit | No |
ChildParameterName |
Name of the parameter written to the child element | No |
ChildParameterValue |
Value written to the child parameter | No |
None of the fields stored by Enlazo are personal data. The log contains only Revit model data: element identifiers, category names, and parameter names and values. No Revit application username, Autodesk Login ID, email address, or any other personally identifiable information is written to the log.
3.2 Data Transmitted Externally
Autodesk App Store Entitlement Check
When the Add-in loads at Revit startup, it performs a single licence validation call to the Autodesk App Store Entitlement API:
GET https://apps.autodesk.com/webservices/checkentitlement
?userid={AutodeskLoginUserId}
&appid={AppStoreAppId}
What is sent: Your Autodesk Account Login User ID (an anonymised identifier generated by Autodesk, not your name or email address) and the Add-in's App Store App ID.
Who receives it: Autodesk, Inc. — not AvantLeap. This request goes directly from your machine to Autodesk's servers.
What it does: Autodesk returns a boolean IsValid response indicating whether your Autodesk account has a valid purchase or subscription for this Add-in. AvantLeap does not receive, log, or store the User ID or the response.
Result caching: The result is cached in memory for the duration of the current Revit session only. It is not written to disk.
Autodesk's privacy policy governs how Autodesk processes the User ID on their servers: https://www.autodesk.com/company/legal-notices-trademarks/privacy-statement
3.3 Data We Do Not Collect
AvantLeap does not collect, receive, or have access to any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or Autodesk account details
- Your Revit project files or model geometry
- Analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or usage statistics
- IP addresses or location data
- Cookies or browser tracking of any kind
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
| Processing activity | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Storing Revit model data (element IDs, category names, parameter values) in the local assignment log | Legitimate interest — maintaining an auditable record of parameter assignments supports the user's BIM coordination workflow and enables the Audit command to review past assignments. No personal data is involved in this processing. |
| Transmitting the Autodesk Login User ID to the Autodesk Entitlement API | Contractual necessity — verifying a valid purchase or subscription is a requirement of the Autodesk App Store distribution agreement. |
5. Data Storage and Security
All data created by Enlazo is stored exclusively on your local machine. AvantLeap has no access to this data at any time.
The security of the data is governed by:
- Your Windows user account permissions and file system access controls
- Your organisation's network and device security policies
The log file is a plain-text JSON file stored in your Documents folder. It contains no sensitive model geometry, no file paths to your Revit project, and no personally identifiable information.
6. Data Sharing
AvantLeap does not share, sell, rent, or disclose any data from the Add-in to any third party.
The only external transmission performed by the Add-in is the Autodesk entitlement check described in section 3.2. That transmission goes directly from your machine to Autodesk — it does not pass through AvantLeap systems.
7. Data Retention
The Add-in does not manage a data retention schedule. Data persists as long as you choose to keep it:
- The assignment log remains at
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\AvantLeap\Tools\Enlazo\until you delete it manually or use your operating system's file management tools. - In-memory entitlement result is discarded automatically when Revit closes.
Uninstalling the Add-in removes the software but does not automatically delete the assignment log. You can delete it manually by removing the folder at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\AvantLeap\Tools\Enlazo\.
8. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights regarding the personal data processed by the Add-in.
As noted in section 3.1, the Enlazo assignment log contains no personal data — only Revit model data. However, if you consider any field in the log to be personal to you, you may exercise the following rights:
| Right | How to exercise it |
|---|---|
| Access | Open the log file at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\AvantLeap\Tools\Enlazo\{ProjectName}\{RevitVersion}\enlazo_log.json in any text editor. |
| Rectification | Edit the JSON file directly to correct any field value. |
| Erasure | Delete individual entries from the JSON file, or delete the entire file or folder. |
| Restriction of processing | Stop using the Enlazo assign command. No new log entries are written unless you click Save data. |
| Portability | The log is a plain-text JSON file. Copy or transfer it freely. |
| Object | Delete the log file. The Add-in will not prevent you from doing so and will create a new log only on the next assignment. |
Because AvantLeap does not hold or receive your data, requests cannot be fulfilled by contacting AvantLeap directly — the data is on your machine and under your control. If you have a question about exercising these rights, contact us at support@avantleap.com and we will assist where possible.
9. International Data Transfers
The only data that leaves your machine is the Autodesk Login User ID sent to Autodesk's entitlement API (see section 3.2). Autodesk, Inc. is a US-based company. Your Autodesk account agreement and Autodesk's Privacy Statement govern any cross-border transfer of that identifier.
AvantLeap does not transfer any data internationally.
10. Children's Privacy
Enlazo is professional software designed for use in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry. It is not intended for use by persons under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through use of this Add-in, please contact us at support@avantleap.com.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users through the Autodesk App Store listing or our website. Continued use of the Add-in after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
