Last Updated: March 10, 2026

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

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.

Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who interact with microagi's services, including:

  • Website Visitors: Individuals who browse or interact with our official website, microagi.com.
  • Platform Users: Individuals or representatives of organizations who register for an account on our platform, subscribe to our API services, or otherwise use our data distribution services.
  • Data Contributors: Individuals, primarily located in Turkey, who are employed to participate in our data collection programs by performing tasks while wearing egocentric smart glasses.

Data Controller Information

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:

Primary Data Controller (for GDPR purposes)

MicroAGI, Inc.
Aachen, 52070, Germany
MicroAGI, Inc. is the primary data controller for personal data collected from Website Visitors and Platform Users globally. It determines the purposes and means of processing for all personal data subject to the GDPR. It is also the data controller for the anonymized robotics datasets that are managed, versioned, and distributed through our platform.

Part II: Collection and Use of Robotics Training Data

Section 4: Egocentric Demonstration Data — Collection and Anonymization

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.

4.1 The Nature of Captured Data

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.

  • Gaze-Aligned RGB-D Video.
  • Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Data.
  • 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6-DoF) Hand Pose Data.

4.2 Our Anonymization-by-Design Commitment: On-Device Processing

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.

4.3 The Legal Status of Anonymized Data under GDPR and KVKK

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.

Section 5: Use and Distribution of Anonymized Datasets

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.

  • Community and Open-Source Contributions.
  • Commercial Subscriptions.

Part III: General Data Protection, Retention, and Transfer Provisions

Section 6: Data Security and Retention

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.

  • Encryption.
  • Access Control.
  • Secure Infrastructure.
  • Regular Audits and Monitoring.
  • Employee Training.

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.

Section 7: International Data Transfers

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.

Part IV: Your Rights and Our Commitments

Section 8: Your Data Protection Rights

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.

Section 9: Specific Commitments for German Operations

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.
