Our Commitment to Privacy and Data Protection. microagi is committed to upholding the highest standards of data privacy and protection. Our vision to build the definitive platform for robotics training data is founded on principles of transparency, security, and rigorous legal compliance. This Privacy Policy is designed to provide a clear and comprehensive explanation of how we collect, use, process, and protect information in connection with our website, platform, and data collection activities.
We recognize the importance of the data entrusted to us and have engineered our systems and procedures from the ground up based on the principles of Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default. Our practices are structured to comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law (Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu, or KVKK), reflecting our operational presence in both jurisdictions. The core principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, and integrity and confidentiality are embedded in all our data processing activities.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who interact with microagi's services, including:
Under applicable data protection laws, it is essential to identify the entity or entities responsible for your data. Given our international structure, the roles are defined as follows:
This distinction is fundamental to our compliance framework. It establishes a clear line of accountability under GDPR to our German entity and its lead supervisory authority, while defining the specific, instructed role of our Turkish entity in the data lifecycle.
We collect information to provide and improve our services. The types of information we collect depend on how you interact with us.
When you interact directly with our website or platform, we collect personal data that you voluntarily provide. This includes:
As you navigate and interact with our website and platform, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns. This helps us understand how our services are used, maintain security, and improve user experience.
We are committed to the principle of "purpose limitation," meaning we only use your personal data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. The data collected in Section 1 is used as follows:
Every processing activity we undertake is grounded in a valid legal basis as required by both the GDPR and the KVKK. This dual-framework approach ensures our compliance across our operational jurisdictions.
This section details the core of microagi's business: the collection of data for robotics training. Our entire process is built upon a foundational commitment to "Anonymization-by-Design," ensuring that raw, identifiable personal data is never stored or processed in our central systems.
Our data collection is conducted by trained Data Contributors, primarily employed by our Turkish subsidiary, microagi Veri Toplama Ltd. Şti. These contributors perform a range of "blue-collar" tasks while wearing commercially available egocentric smart glasses. These devices capture a rich, multi-modal data stream from the contributor's first-person perspective.
The cornerstone of our privacy and legal compliance strategy is our robust, non-bypassable anonymization pipeline that runs at the edge, directly on the capture device, before any data is uploaded to our cloud infrastructure. This approach embodies the principles of Data Protection by Design and Data Minimization, as it prevents raw personal data from ever entering our systems.
This on-device pipeline utilizes advanced machine learning models to perform irreversible transformations such as automated face blurring and identifier obfuscation.
The distinction between anonymized data and personal data is legally significant. Our process is meticulously designed to achieve true anonymization, placing the resulting datasets outside the scope of personal data protection laws.
The purpose of creating these anonymized datasets is to accelerate innovation in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics. We operate a dual-tiered distribution model designed to foster a vibrant research community while building a sustainable business.
We take the security of all data under our control very seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and secure our proprietary anonymized datasets.
Personal data is retained for as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. Anonymized robotics data may be retained for long-term research but is periodically reviewed.
Our international corporate structure necessitates the transfer of data across borders. We ensure that all such transfers are conducted in full compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Transfers from Turkey to the EU rely primarily on the anonymized nature of the data, while ancillary personal data is safeguarded by Standard Contractual Clauses. Transfers from the EU to third countries rely on adequacy decisions or SCCs.
We are committed to ensuring you can exercise your rights over your personal data. The rights available to you depend on your location and the applicable data protection law.
GDPR rights include the right to be informed, access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and objection. KVKK rights include learning whether data is processed, requesting information, knowing third parties, rectification, erasure, objection to automated decisions, and seeking compensation.
To exercise any of your data protection rights, contact us at privacy@micro-agi.com. We will respond without undue delay and within statutory timelines.
For any future data collection pilots or programs involving employees or other individuals in Germany, microagi commits to conducting a thorough Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and cooperating with Works Councils as required by German law.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data protection practices, please contact us.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. For matters related to GDPR, our lead supervisory authority is the competent data protection authority for our establishment in Germany. For matters related to KVKK, the competent authority is the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority. We would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach an authority.
