Privacy Policy — Famiglia

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Famiglia ("the Add-in"), developed and published by AvantLeap ("we", "us", "our"), handles information when you install and use the Add-in within Autodesk® Revit®.

Famiglia is a Revit add-in for round-trip composite family management — it operates entirely locally on your machine by reading and writing Revit family documents and project files. It does not connect to any AvantLeap cloud service.

By installing and using Famiglia, 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

Famiglia writes diagnostic log files to assist with troubleshooting. These files are stored at:

%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\Documentos\AvantLeap\Tools\Famiglia\ProjectsSupportFiles\

Structure: {RevitDocumentName}\Revit{Version}\{Command}_{timestamp}.log

Field Description Personal Data?
Revit document name Filename of the open project (e.g. MyHouse.rvt) No
Revit version number E.g. 2026 No
Element IDs Internal Revit identifiers for placed family instances No
World positions (XYZ) Coordinates of family instances in the project No
Family names and type names Names of Revit families used in the operation No
Timestamp Date and time the operation ran No

No personal data is stored. Log files contain only technical geometry and family data from your Revit model. They do not contain your name, email address, login credentials, or any other personally identifiable information.

Log files are written only when the Separate Family or Join Family commands execute. They are never transmitted to AvantLeap or any external server.

3.2 Data Transmitted Externally

Autodesk App Store Entitlement Check

When a Famiglia command runs, it performs a single licence validation call to the Autodesk App Store Entitlement API (once per Revit session, result cached in memory):

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. AvantLeap does not receive, log, or store the User ID or the response.

Result caching: The result is cached in memory for the current Revit session only. It is not written to disk.

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 data
  • 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
Writing local diagnostic log files Legitimate interest — diagnostic logs help users troubleshoot placement issues with no personal data involved
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 log data created by the Add-in is stored exclusively on your local machine. AvantLeap has no access to this data at any time.

The security of the log files is governed by your Windows user account permissions and file system access controls.

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

  • Diagnostic log files remain in %USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\Documentos\AvantLeap\Tools\Famiglia\ProjectsSupportFiles\ until you delete them manually
  • In-memory entitlement result is discarded automatically when Revit closes

Uninstalling the Add-in removes the software but does not automatically delete log files. You can delete them manually.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

Because Famiglia stores no personal data (see section 3.1), the standard GDPR data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection) apply only to the diagnostic log files, which are already under your direct control on your own machine.

If you have a privacy question, contact us at info@avantleap.com. We aim to respond within 10 business days.

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

Famiglia 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.

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. Continued use of the Add-in after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
