BIMworkshop hosts product and company data from manufacturers for AEC professionals. We collect personal and usage information from registered users. This Privacy Statement explains what data we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and how we protect it. (We gather product and company information from publicly available sources; while we strive for accuracy, we disclaim responsibility for any errors or omissions in that data.)

How We Use Your Information:

We use your information to operate and improve BIMworkshop. We use account details to personalize your experience and deliver relevant product content. We analyze usage data (such as which products you view and what features you use) to optimize our site and features. We also use your information to communicate important updates (for example, account confirmations or service notifications) and, with your consent, occasional newsletters or announcements. Your information helps us maintain security and comply with legal requirement.

Analytics & Improvement: Analyze site usage and engagement (e.g. most viewed products or areas) to improve BIMworkshop’s content and functionality.
Security and Compliance: Use information to protect against unauthorized use, enforce our Terms of Use, and comply with legal obligations.

## Sharing of Information We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with third parties only as described below. For example, we may provide aggregated or anonymized usage metrics to manufacturers or other clients so they can assess general interest in their products. This data sharing will never identify you personally

We engage reputable service providers (such as hosting or analytics partners) to support our operations; they process information only on our behalf under confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose personal data if required by law or to protect our rights.

Manufacturers/Clients: We share only aggregated statistics (e.g. overall product views or download counts) without revealing any individual’s identity
Service Providers: We share personal data (like email or company details) only with vendors who need it to perform contracted services, and only under confidentiality agreements.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose information to comply with legal processes or government requests, or to protect BIMworkshop’s or others’ rights and safety.

Data Security We take data security seriously and use industry-standard measures to protect your information. Data is stored on secure servers, and we use encryption (for example, SSL/TLS) to safeguard data in transit. Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel with a need to know, and we regularly review our systems for vulnerabilities

While we follow best practices, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection. You should also protect your account (for example, by keeping your password confidential) and notify us if you suspect any unauthorized use.

Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data; we will honor such requests unless we have a legal obligation to retain the data.
Promotional Emails: You can opt out of newsletters or marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in those emails. We will continue to send you essential service and account notices.
Cookies: You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of BIMworkshop.

Accuracy of Product and Company Information
