Privacy Policy

This policy describes what data the sdmdev.pro website and the Lumber Optimizer add-in collect, why it is needed and how we handle it.

Last updated: August 9, 2026

1. Who processes the data

The data controller is SDM Dev — a developer of software for design engineering, owner of the sdmdev.pro website and of the Lumber Optimizer add-in.

For any data processing question you can reach us through the contact form on the About page.

2. What data we collect

Contact form data: name, email address, subject and message body. Used solely to answer your message.

License data: the email address provided at purchase, the license key, the plan and the expiry date.

A technical computer fingerprint when a PRO license is activated: CPU identifier, motherboard serial number, disk serial number, network adapter MAC address and the Windows security identifier. These values are stored in a form sufficient for comparison and are used only to verify that the license runs on a single machine.

Technical download information: IP address and the version of the downloaded file — for distribution statistics.

3. What we do not collect

The add-in never sends the content of your Revit models, geometry, project names, files or any project data to the server. The cutting calculation runs entirely on your computer.

We do not collect payment card data. Payments are handled by an external payment provider that processes payment details on its own side.

4. Why the data is needed

To answer your requests.

To issue, verify and transfer licenses between computers.

To protect against unauthorized distribution of license keys.

For anonymous download statistics and update planning.

5. How long we keep the data

Contact form messages — up to 24 months from receipt.

License data — for the license term and 36 months afterwards, so that a key can be restored at your request.

Activation records — up to 24 months.

Download statistics — anonymized, with no time limit.

6. Sharing with third parties

We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data may be processed by infrastructure providers (hosting, database, email delivery, payment provider) strictly to the extent required for the service to operate.

7. Your rights

You may request a copy of your data, its correction or deletion, and withdraw your consent to processing. Send the request through the contact form.

Deleting license data means the license can no longer be restored or transferred to another computer.

8. Cookies

The website uses only technical cookies and browser local storage — to remember the selected interface language and the administrator session. There are no advertising or tracking cookies on the site.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date of the last update is shown at the top of the page. We will additionally announce material changes on the website.
