AP Atlas helps adults document completed, planned and ongoing work in their homes and architectural services in Berlin. A practice record describes a particular commission or service at a place and time. It does not represent an entire building or the complete professional activity of an architect or contractor. Several practices may be recorded on one parcel. Comparisons are descriptive: they are not binding quotations, valuations, price recommendations or guarantees of equivalent services or building quality. Atlas does not broker building contracts. Self-selected contributions do not represent the whole market.
Participation in the initial pilot is free. Any future paid service would require a separate agreement; participation does not automatically become a paid subscription. Clients, owners, architects, contractors and other participants may contribute information they are entitled to share. Anyone acting for an organisation must be authorised to do so. Private account details and the chosen public profile are separate; the sign-in email is not displayed publicly.
Provide information you know or are authorised to use. Distinguish known facts, estimates and personal assessments; label quotations and final costs correctly. Remove unnecessary personal information and confidential material from text, filenames, images and documents before sharing. Ownership of a building does not automatically grant permission to share an architect’s plans or a photographer’s images.
The submission preview shows the information to be published, including the exact project address, parcel and public profile. Submission sends this preview for editorial review. Approval publishes it directly on the map without another visibility step, once the public pilot is open. A dot indicates that the parcel contains records; clicking the dot or parcel opens its practice list, from which visitors select an individual practice. “Editorially approved” means approved for publication. It does not independently verify invoices, costs, ownership, legal compliance or building quality.
Publishing a practice does not publish all its attachments. For each file, choose private, public after approval or on request. Submitted files are available to the reviewing editor. For files offered on request, the contributor grants, declines or revokes access for the requesting account. Permission to view or download does not itself grant permission to republish. Changing a file or its sharing choice requires resubmission and revokes previous access. Copies already downloaded cannot be recalled.
Rights remain with you or the relevant rights holder. You grant Atlas only the non-exclusive permission needed to store, process and technically format your content for the private workspace and, with your separate consent, publish the preview and the files you have chosen to share. Separately consented grouped comparisons follow their own stated scope. This does not grant blanket permission for advertising, social-media promotion, disclosure to other organisations or general AI model training. The pilot entry form does not call AI. Additional uses require a separately stated basis and, where necessary, separate permission.
You may share links to records. Public availability is not a general licence to republish photographs, plans, documents or collections. Attribution alone does not replace any permission that is required. Reuse, including bulk collection, commercial reuse and model training, depends on the relevant rights, licences and applicable statutory permissions. This text does not impose a blanket ban on legally permitted automated analysis. User contributions, open datasets, software and third-party materials retain their respective rights and licences. No exclusive rights in raw facts or mathematical methods are claimed.
Project discussions are public. Keep comments relevant and share only text you may publish, without other people’s private information. You retain rights in your comments and permit their display with your public profile until removal. The editor may remove unlawful content, personal data shared without permission, harassment or spam. Anyone, including people who did not submit the record, can report inaccurate attribution, rights concerns or personal data using the contact below. Include the record link or reference, the affected content and your reason. You can use the same contact to ask for an explanation or reconsideration of an editorial decision.

You can correct, export or delete your saved records and withdraw a publication while keeping the private record. Editing or deleting the source record removes its publication; publishing changes requires another submission and review. Removing your Atlas profile clears profile attribution, comment text and reactions, but does not delete saved projects or your sign-in account. Delete projects separately if you want them removed too. Processing and retention details are explained in Privacy. Future features and any changed uses will be described separately; these terms do not grant unrestricted future rights. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

Atlas uses Supabase Auth for email/password registration, email verification, password recovery and sessions. When enabled, Google can also be used to sign in. Supabase processes the account identifier, email address and authentication data; the primary Auth project is hosted in Ireland. Atlas links the verified account to its saved records and uses secure session cookies to keep you signed in. Passwords are not stored in Atlas project records. Removing the public profile does not remove the sign-in account; contact us to request account deletion.
After signing in to Atlas, you enter your first and last name as private account details and choose a public display name, an individual or office profile, and an optional short biography. Your account email is supplied by the sign-in provider and shown only in your own account settings. Your sign-in email is not shown publicly. The profile appears beside projects you submit for publication with profile consent and comments you choose to publish. Existing publications are not automatically given a public author. Comments and replies are visible with the published project; they are not private messages. Each comment is linked to its author account and creation time. Reactions are linked to your account so you can undo them; other visitors see only totals.
You can remove your comments. The editor can also remove comments; their text and displayed author are then cleared, while a removal marker preserves the reply structure. Removing your Atlas profile clears your reactions, comment text and project attribution but retains your saved projects and your sign-in account. Editing, deleting or withdrawing a published project removes its discussion. Avoid confidential documents and personal information about others in public descriptions or comments.
Study Area 1 distinguishes completed and planned or ongoing work in your home without a permit requirement, and architectural services with an approval procedure. Home-work records include a title, description, address, optional floor and room, dates, costs and optional evidence. Optional contractor details include profession, company type and staff count. Architectural-service records additionally include HOAI object type, service phases, scale, planning fees, fee zones and approval details. Provide information about other people or companies only when authorised and necessary. Verification documents are optional; do not provide bank details. Private records and drafts are linked to the verified Atlas account. Selecting a parcel does not publish an address.
You may add up to four project images to a saved project or draft. Images are stored separately and are private by default. At submission, the editor can review them. The upload interface resizes them and removes embedded location metadata. Images are excluded from study statistics and can be removed individually. Deleting a project through Study Area 1 also deletes its images.
The intended legal basis for providing the requested private workspace is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Private storage is separate from permission to contribute. No marketing subscription is created.
A separate voluntary consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) is required for submitting completed costs. Curators receive exact amounts and limited comparison characteristics; account linkage is retained internally to manage withdrawal. Street address, district, contact details, private record title and documents are excluded from this snapshot. After review, only grouped results may be public.
Public results use fixed broad area/year groups, at least five distinct contributing accounts, and rounded medians. Individual prices and identities are not returned by the public endpoint. This is a disclosure-reduction measure, not a promise of absolute anonymity. Quotes never contribute to completed-cost results.
At the end of the form, submitting for review saves your project and the consented preview with Pending status. Only an editor can approve publication. Saving a draft remains private and does not submit it. Editing and resubmitting an approved project returns it to Pending.
Private saving does not publish a project. The operator receives a creation notification containing a reference and a protected Atlas link. With a separate choice, you can submit a preview of selected project, scale, service, date and cost information for editorial review and publication. The editor additionally sees your project title, service-scope notes and evidence references. Project-party names and contact details are excluded. Submitted images and verification documents are shared with the editor. Each file has a separate choice: private, public after approval, or available on request. A request reveals the requester’s public profile name to the contributor, who can grant, decline or revoke access. Only that signed-in requester can use a granted download. Changing or removing a file, or resubmitting or withdrawing the project, invalidates previous file access. Requests are stored with the project, file version, requester, status and timestamps; withdrawal removes the requests. Previously downloaded copies cannot be recalled. Project submission includes the exact project address and confirmed parcel in the publication preview. Editorial approval publishes the project at that location on the map without a further visibility step. Do not include names or addresses in a public title. Review does not independently verify the underlying invoices or property rights.
Publication and location sharing rely on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). The preview shows the information to be published. You can withdraw it; editing or deleting the source record removes its publication and requires a fresh submission. Previously downloaded copies held by others cannot necessarily be recalled. Quotations remain labelled as quotations and do not enter final-cost statistics.
Resend sends a confirmation to the account email supplied by the sign-in provider when an Atlas profile is created, when a project is first saved privately, and once per submission for editorial review. The message contains a confirmation, an Atlas link and, for projects, a record reference. It includes no project addresses, fees, documents or private notes. A pending recipient address is stored with the delivery status and cleared after the sending service accepts the message. The operator receives a separate new-project alert. An email failure does not remove your saved profile or project.
You can export, correct or delete private pilot records. Deleting or editing a record removes its shared snapshot; a changed record requires fresh submission and review. Withdrawing a contribution removes it from active shared calculations while retaining your private record. Records/drafts remain in the active workspace until you delete them or the operator closes the pilot and resolves the retained data. Provider logs and backup deletion schedules must follow the processing notice below.
Subject to the GDPR conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent for future processing. Withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing. Contact the controller above. You may complain to a supervisory authority, including the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
The current site uses Sites authentication and Cloudflare-backed hosting/database infrastructure. Provider identity, contractual processing chain, data locations, international transfer safeguards and log/backup retention must be verified for the actual account. No EU-only processing or zero-retention promise is made.
Account-specific processor and retention details are pending. Public contribution remains disabled.
The homeowner form does not call AI. Its parcel map uses Geoportal Berlin: opening the map requests map tiles from that provider and may disclose the network address and map extent. Address and parcel queries are processed through the Atlas map service. In the separate Atlas AI assistant, submitted text is sent to OpenAI only when you send it; remove unnecessary names, addresses and banking details first. The service assistant uses store:false. This is not a zero-retention guarantee: provider abuse-monitoring logs may still apply. The separate research assistant may save conversations in your private workspace. API data is not used for model training by default under the provider policy.
The map/research page uses its displayed map providers; opening it can create network requests to those services. The pilot adds no advertising pixel, cross-site tracker or marketing cookie. Sites sign-in/security may use necessary storage. Only if you tick the separate optional box, a whitelisted campaign code from your incoming link is saved with a record to evaluate recruitment; no click ID, fingerprint or marketing mailing list is collected by the pilot code.
