Short version: ELLAH-M is a local Revit plugin that runs entirely on your computer. It does not collect, transmit or store any of your Revit project data, building models, or personal information. The only network activities are an optional version-check (direct-download edition) and an Autodesk Entitlement check to verify a valid subscription (App Store edition).
ELLAH-M is developed by Maor Cohen, a structural engineer based in Israel. The plugin was created to solve real-world BIM workflow challenges encountered in daily structural engineering work.

We collect the absolute minimum required to operate the product.
| Data | Purpose | Stored Where |
|---|---|---|
| Trial start date ג€” a single timestamp stored locally on your machine | Tracks your 14-day free trial period | Your computer only: %LocalAppData%\EllahM\trial.dat. Never sent anywhere. |
| Purchase receipt (managed entirely by Gumroad or Autodesk App Store) | Proof of purchase | On the payment platform ג€” not on our servers |
| Your email address (if you contact us directly for support) | Responding to your request | Email only; deleted upon request |
The plugin runs entirely locally inside Revit's process. All numbering, dimension, and export operations happen on your machine and are written directly to your Revit model ג€” nothing is sent to any server.
Direct-download edition: When Revit starts, the plugin performs a silent version check by reading a public JSON file hosted on GitHub. No personal data is sent ג€” only a standard anonymous HTTPS request. Nothing is downloaded without your explicit approval.
App Store edition: When the 14-day trial expires, the plugin queries the Autodesk Entitlement API (apps.autodesk.com/webservices/checkentitlement) to verify your subscription. This request sends your Autodesk login ID (a non-personal internal identifier provided by Revit) and our App ID to Autodesk's servers. Autodesk's own Privacy Policy governs how Autodesk handles this data. No project data or building model information is ever transmitted.
Purchases are handled by third-party platforms. We do not process or store payment information ourselves.
The ELLAH-M plugin itself does not use cookies or any tracking technology. This website (ellah-colnum-pro.netlify.app) may use basic analytics provided by Netlify to count page visits ג€” no personal data is linked to these statistics.
Since we do not store personal data, there is nothing to delete from our side. If you have contacted us by email and wish us to delete that correspondence, send a request to maor@mm-ellah.com and we will do so within 30 days.
To uninstall the plugin and remove all files it placed on your machine: Windows Settings ג†’ Apps ג†’ ELLAH-M ג†’ Uninstall. This removes all plugin files including the trial tracking file. Your Revit projects are not affected.
ELLAH-M is a professional tool intended for use by structural engineers, architects, and BIM professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 16.
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Since the plugin does not collect personal data, changes are unlikely to affect your privacy meaningfully. Continued use of the plugin after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
