Last updated: December 2024

1. Introduction

At 3D TACT, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services, visit our website, or interact with us.

By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you request a quote, place an order, contact us for support, or subscribe to our communications. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, billing information, and project specifications.

2.2 Design Files and Project Data

When you submit CAD files, 3D models, or other design files for manufacturing or consultancy services, we collect and store these files securely. This data is treated as confidential and is protected under our intellectual property safeguards.

2.3 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device including IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and referring website. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to process orders and manufacture parts, handle payments, respond to enquiries and provide technical support, manage your account, send communications you have consented to, analyse usage to improve our services, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Protection of Design Files and IP

We understand the critical importance of protecting your intellectual property. All design files are stored on encrypted, secure servers with restricted access. Files are automatically deleted from our systems 90 days after project completion unless you request otherwise. We never share, sell, or use your designs for any purpose other than fulfilling your order. Our staff sign confidentiality agreements and we can work under your NDA for additional protection.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (such as payment processors and shipping carriers), when required by law or to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.

5.1 Service Providers

Third-party service providers who may receive data include payment processors, shipping carriers, cloud storage providers (encrypted), email service providers, and analytics platforms. All providers are bound by data processing agreements.

5.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required to comply with legal processes, enforce our terms and conditions, protect our rights and property, or investigate fraud or security issues.

6. Data Security

We implement comprehensive security measures including SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission, encrypted storage for sensitive data and design files, multi-factor authentication for staff access, regular security audits, and staff training on data security and privacy.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under UK GDPR and applicable data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information; restrict or object to how we process it; request data portability; and withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@3dtact.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit website functionality.
