Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how FlexCut3D ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our parametric laser-cutting design application, our website, and our model store (together, the "Service").
Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Account information: email address, name, and password when you create an account
- Payment information: billing details are collected and processed by Paddle, our merchant of record — we never see or store your card details
- Purchase history: which models you have bought, so we can provide re-downloads and support
- CAD project data: parametric models, designs, SVG files, and laser-cutting projects you create using our application. FlexCut3D does not claim ownership of user-generated designs and does not sell or reuse design data.
- Communications: messages you send to us for support or feedback
Information collected automatically
- Usage data: how you interact with our design tools and store
- Device information: browser type, operating system, IP address
- Cookies: see our Cookie Policy
Guest checkout: if you buy a model without an account, we create an account for you using the email address you provide at checkout, so your purchase stays re-downloadable. You can log in to it at any time via an email login link.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the application and model store
- Deliver purchased models and provide lifetime re-downloads
- Process payments (via Paddle) and prevent fraud
- Send important updates about your account, purchases, or service changes
- Improve our tools based on usage patterns
- Provide customer support
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-Party Services
- Paddle (paddle.com) — our merchant of record: processes all payments, calculates taxes, issues receipts, and handles refunds. Paddle's own privacy policy applies to payment data.
- Cloud hosting and data storage — user accounts, projects, and purchased-model delivery run on secure, encrypted cloud infrastructure.
- Analytics — privacy-friendly, aggregated site analytics to understand traffic.
Data Storage and Security
- Your designs, purchases, and account data are stored on encrypted infrastructure
- We use industry-standard security measures and review them regularly
- Model downloads are access-controlled — only verified purchasers can download paid files
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Access, update, or delete your account information
- Export your CAD project data and designs
- Opt out of non-essential communications
- Request deletion of your account and associated data
To exercise these rights, contact us at info@flexcut3d.com.
Data Retention
- Account information is retained while your account is active
- Purchase records are retained as required for accounting and to provide lifetime re-downloads
- After account deletion, we may retain limited information for legal or accounting purposes for up to 90 days
International Users
FlexCut3D is operated internationally; our hosting and payment providers process data in the regions where they operate. By using the Service you consent to this processing.
Children's Privacy
FlexCut3D is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
