4. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. The current version is always available on this page. The "Valid from" date at the top indicates the last revision. We will notify you of material changes via a prominent notice on the website prior to the changes taking effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
5. 3D Scene Content & Personal Data
oda creates interactive 3D scenes of physical spaces using photogrammetry and Gaussian Splat technology. During the capture process, incidental personal data may be recorded — for example, vehicle licence plates, individuals present in the space, or other identifying information visible in the environment at the time of capture.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR — legitimate interest in providing accurate spatial representations of our clients' spaces. We have carried out a balancing exercise weighing this legitimate interest against the rights and freedoms of data subjects, and we apply technical and organisational measures (including capture protocols and the response process below) to minimise privacy impact.
Your right to request restriction or erasure: If you believe your personal data has been incidentally captured in one of our 3D scenes, you have the right to request restriction of processing (Article 18 UK GDPR) or erasure (Article 17 UK GDPR). To submit a request, contact privacy@getoda.ai with a description of the scene and the nature of the data concerned.
How we handle requests: Upon receiving a valid request, we will take the affected scene offline while we assess and address the concern. We aim to respond to all requests within 30 days, in line with Article 12(3) UK GDPR. Please note that due to the technical nature of Gaussian Splat rendering, permanent automated redaction of specific elements within a scene is not currently possible. Where erasure cannot be achieved by technical means, we will assess whether the scene can remain published, must be restricted, or must be permanently removed, on a case-by-case basis.
Retention: 3D scene data is retained for the duration of the client contract. Scenes are unpublished upon contract termination.
