Privacy Policy — Riscontro

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

1. Introduction

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

Riscontro is a Revit add-in that analyses the geometric deviation between BIM model elements and loaded point cloud data, operating entirely within the local Revit environment with no cloud connectivity other than the Autodesk App Store licence check.

By installing and using Riscontro, 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 Riscontro, the Add-in stores the following data on your machine:

File location: %AppData%\AvantLeap\Riscontro\settings.json

Field Description Personal Data?
WarnThresholdInches Warning deviation threshold in inches No
CriticalThresholdInches Critical deviation threshold in inches No
SearchRadiusFt Point cloud search radius in feet No
MinPointSpacingFt Minimum cloud point spacing No
MaxPointsAnalysed Maximum cloud points evaluated per element No
MaxElementsPerRun Maximum elements analysed per run No
EnableZoneAnalysis Boolean — zone analysis enabled No
ZoneGridSizeFt Zone subdivision grid size in feet No
AnalyseWalls / Floors / etc. Category toggle booleans No
ColorOk / ColorWarning / etc. RGB colour strings for deviation display No

No personal data is stored in the settings file. All fields are numeric or boolean analysis parameters.

Riscontro does not use Extensible Storage and does not write any data to the Revit model file.

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 data
  • Point cloud files or scan 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
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.

No personal data is stored locally by the Add-in, so no additional legal basis is required for local storage.

5. Data Storage and Security

All settings data created by the Add-in is stored exclusively on your local machine at %AppData%\AvantLeap\Riscontro\settings.json. 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

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:

  • Settings file remains at %AppData%\AvantLeap\Riscontro\settings.json until you delete it manually.
  • In-memory analysis results are discarded automatically when Revit closes.
  • In-memory entitlement result is discarded automatically when Revit closes.

Uninstalling the Add-in removes the software but does not automatically delete the settings file. You can delete it manually at any time.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights:

Right How to exercise it
Access The settings file is at %AppData%\AvantLeap\Riscontro\settings.json — you can open and read it directly.
Erasure Delete the settings file at the path above. The Add-in will recreate it with default values on next use.
Portability The settings file is plain-text JSON. You can copy or transfer it freely.

Because AvantLeap does not hold or receive your data (no personal data is stored locally and the only external call goes to Autodesk), data rights requests cannot be fulfilled by contacting AvantLeap directly. If you have a question, contact us at info@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

Riscontro 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 info@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.
