3DToolBox is deliberately built to minimize data collection: color detection from images and 3MF files runs entirely locally in your browser — your photos or 3D models are never uploaded to a server. The sections below transparently list everything that happens technically in the background when you visit the site.
This website is hosted via GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc. (a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation), USA. When you visit the site, GitHub automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and access time (so-called server log files) in order to technically deliver the page. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in a reliable and secure provision of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). For more information, see GitHub's Privacy Statement.
To power the tool, we load two JavaScript libraries from external providers:
Loading these files technically transmits your IP address to the respective providers. We do not perform any further analysis of this data ourselves. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a functional, low-maintenance tool (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
We use a simple, anonymous page-view counter provided by the third-party service countapi.mileshilliard.com. Your IP address is technically transmitted in the process, but is not stored or analyzed by us — only a number is incremented. Using your browser's localStorage, we remember whether your visit has already been counted so the same visit isn't counted multiple times; this information never leaves your browser. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a rough overview of visitor numbers (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The counter itself is not visible during normal use of the site.
We use your browser's localStorage exclusively for purely technical purposes, including:
No personal profiles are created and no data is transmitted to us — the information stays in your browser. As this is a strictly necessary technical function, no cookie consent is required for it (Section 25(2) No. 2 TTDSG, the German implementation of the ePrivacy Directive).
3DToolBox links to external shop pages for detected filaments as well as to external 3D printing tools. Depending on the current setup, these may include:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 3DJake, Redline Filament, Sunlu | Filament purchase links |
| Meshy AI, Thangs | 3D printing tools |
These links lead to third-party websites over whose data processing we have no control. Their respective privacy policies apply. Some of these links are affiliate links, through which we may receive a commission on a purchase — this has no effect on the price you pay. Where affiliate networks (e.g. Awin) set their own cookies upon clicking, this happens only on the respective provider's destination page, not on 3dtoolbox.info itself.
The "Become a partner" button opens your own email application with a pre-filled message to us. No data is transmitted via our website in this process — the email is sent directly from your email application. We process the data you provide in the email (e.g. name, email address, message content) to handle your inquiry, based on Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. We delete this data once it is no longer required for processing your request, unless legal retention obligations apply.
You have the right, at any time, to:
Simply contact info@3dekoprint.de. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, e.g. the data protection authority of Lower Saxony ("Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz Niedersachsen"), which is responsible for Emden.
We will update this privacy policy whenever the data processing described here changes — for example, if additional affiliate networks or tracking services are added. The version currently published on this page always applies.
This privacy policy was prepared to the best of our knowledge, based on the technology currently used on 3dtoolbox.info, but does not constitute legal advice. If you have any doubts, we recommend consulting a qualified legal professional — particularly once real affiliate tracking links (e.g. via Awin) go live, as this will change the data processing involved. In case of discrepancies between this translation and the German original, the German version applies.
