Privacy Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, processing, and protection of personal and technical telemetry data gathered by BioBitki Technologies ("BioBitki", "we", "us", or "our") through our website (biobitki.com), API endpoints, Revit/CAD BIM integrations, and bioclimatic simulation services.

BioBitki is committed to maintaining strict compliance with international data privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - EU 2016/679) and the Turkish Law on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK No. 6698).

2. Categories of Data Collected

We process information categorized into the following buckets:

• Account & Contact Telemetry: Business email addresses (@firm.com), organization names, professional job titles (e.g., Landscape Architect, ESG Director), and correspondence notes submitted during demo or pilot requests.
• Geospatial & Project Parameters: Non-personal coordinates, site boundary vectors (DWG/DXF/IFC), soil test parameters (pH, NPK, salinity), and microclimatic zone designations necessary to compute botanical matrices.
• Technical Logs: IP addresses, browser user-agent tokens, API key usage counts, and request latencies collected strictly for system security, fraud mitigation, and rate limiting.

3. Artificial Intelligence & Third-Party LLM Processing

4. Legal Grounds for Processing (GDPR & KVKK)

We process your data strictly on the basis of:

• Contractual Necessity (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR / Art. 5(2)(c) KVKK): To deliver requested bioclimatic matrices, BIM family downloads, and API responses.
• Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR / Art. 5(2)(f) KVKK): To safeguard platform integrity, prevent cyber threats, and audit prediction models.
• Explicit Consent: Where you opt in to receive architectural engineering bulletins or product updates.

5. Data Retention & Erasure

Project geospatial telemetry and simulation matrices are retained for the duration of the commercial client engagement or until deletion is formally requested. Inquiries submitted via web forms are purged within 18 months unless an active contract is executed.

6. User Rights

• Request access to personal records held by BioBitki,
