We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information or email addresses to other businesses for their independent marketing purposes. Certain service providers and affiliate partners may process limited information when they help us operate the website, process purchases, measure website activity, protect the site, or track affiliate referrals.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files stored on a browser or device. This website and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, scripts, local storage, or similar technologies for purposes such as:

• Keeping essential website functions working
• Remembering website preferences
• Saving comment-form information when requested
• Measuring website traffic and performance
• Preventing fraud and improving security
• Tracking visits and purchases associated with affiliate links

You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality, analytics, comment preferences, affiliate attribution, or access to some features.

Where a cookie-consent or privacy-preference tool is displayed, you may use that tool to manage the available nonessential cookie categories.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand general website traffic and visitor behavior. Google Analytics may collect information about your browser, device, pages viewed, interactions, referring source, and approximate geographic area.

We use this information to understand which content is useful, identify website problems, and improve the visitor experience. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, project details, or other directly identifying contact information to Google Analytics.

Google processes information according to its own policies. You can learn more by reviewing the
Google Privacy Policy.
Google also provides a
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Website Comments

When visitors leave comments, we may collect the information entered in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser information. This information may be used to display the comment, respond to it, moderate discussions, and help detect spam or abuse.

You may use a display name or alias, but you should not impersonate another person or submit false or misleading information. Information placed in the visible comment field may be publicly accessible.

If avatar functionality is enabled, an anonymized value created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. After a comment is approved, a profile image associated with Gravatar may appear publicly beside the comment.

Gravatar is operated by Automattic and is governed by the
Automattic Privacy Policy.

Contact Forms and Project Inquiries

When you submit a contact form, quote request, or project inquiry, we may collect the information needed to review and respond to your request. This may include your name, email address, business name, project description, quantities, measurements, material requirements, images, drawings, models, and uploaded files.

Information submitted through a project inquiry may be used to:

• Understand the part, product, or service you are requesting
• Evaluate whether the project can be completed
• Prepare an estimate or request additional details
• Communicate with you about the project
• Complete requested design, prototyping, or printing work
• Maintain appropriate business and transaction records

Submitting a project inquiry does not create a confidential, professional, or contractual relationship unless a separate agreement is accepted.

Please do not upload files containing confidential or proprietary information unless you are authorized to share them. When confidentiality is important, contact us before sending sensitive project materials.

Digital Products and PayPal

When you purchase an ebook or another digital product, we may receive and retain information such as your name, email address, product purchased, purchase date, transaction identifier, payment status, and information needed to provide your download.

Payments are processed by PayPal. PayPal may collect payment details, contact information, device information, transaction information, and other information needed to process the payment, prevent fraud, comply with financial regulations, and provide its services.

PayPal processes information under its own privacy practices. We do not intentionally store your complete payment-card number, bank-account number, or PayPal login credentials on this website.

You can learn more by reviewing the
PayPal Privacy Statement.

Email Communications

3D Printing by Kevin does not currently operate an email newsletter or use a third-party email marketing provider.

If you contact us by email, submit a contact form, request a quote, or purchase a digital product, we may use your email address to:

• Respond to your question or request
• Communicate about a project or estimate
• Provide purchase information or a digital download
• Send receipts or transaction-related notices
• Provide other necessary service-related communications

We will not add your email address to a promotional mailing list without your permission.

If an email newsletter or third-party email marketing service is introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to identify the service and explain how subscriber information is collected, stored, and processed.

Affiliate Links and Awin Tracking

Some articles and pages contain affiliate links. When you select an affiliate link, the link may direct you to a third-party advertiser, manufacturer, or retailer. If you complete a qualifying purchase, 3D Printing by Kevin may receive a commission without adding a separate charge to your purchase.

We participate in affiliate programs administered through Awin. Awin and participating advertisers may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to record that you visited an advertiser through a link on this website, attribute a transaction or other action to the referral, prevent fraud, and prepare affiliate reports.

Information collected through affiliate tracking may include:

• A click or referral identifier
• The referring page
• The date and time of the referral
• Browser or device information
• IP-related information
• Transaction or order information used to calculate commissions

You can learn more by reviewing the
Awin Privacy Policy
and
Awin tracking and opt-out information.

The advertiser, manufacturer, or retailer you visit will also have its own privacy policy and data-handling practices.

Embedded Content and External Websites

Articles may include embedded videos, images, social-media content, maps, product tools, or other material provided by third-party websites. Embedded content may behave in the same way as though you visited the third-party website directly.

Those third parties may collect information, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content. Their practices are controlled by their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

The website also contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, accessibility, or business practices of websites we do not control.

When We May Share Information

We may share information in limited circumstances with:

• Website-hosting, maintenance, backup, security, and technical-service providers
• Analytics providers such as Google
• Payment providers such as PayPal
• Affiliate networks such as Awin and participating advertisers
• Spam-prevention and website-security services
• Professional advisers, including accountants, insurers, or legal advisers
• Government agencies, regulators, courts, or law-enforcement authorities when legally required
• A successor or acquiring party if the website or business is reorganized, transferred, or sold

Service providers are given access only as reasonably necessary for the services they perform or as otherwise permitted by law. Third parties that act independently, including PayPal, Google, Awin, and external retailers, process information according to their own privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and may be affected by:

• The length of an inquiry, project, or customer relationship
• The need to maintain comment history or website-security records
• Accounting, tax, transaction, and recordkeeping requirements
• Contractual, warranty, or customer-service needs
• Fraud prevention and dispute resolution
• Applicable legal requirements

Information may remain in website or system backups for a limited period after it is removed from active systems.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

However, no website, email transmission, payment system, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You submit information through the website at your own risk and should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information. You may also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, request a portable copy of information, or appeal the response to a privacy request.

To make a request, email
kevin@3dprintingbykevin.com
with the subject line “Privacy Request.”

Please describe your request and identify the email address, purchase, comment, project inquiry, or other interaction associated with the information.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Certain information may be retained when required for legal compliance, transaction records, fraud prevention, security, accounting, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You may also manage cookies through your browser, use available website cookie controls, use the Google Analytics opt-out tool, or contact the applicable third-party provider directly.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this website, please contact us so that we can review the situation and, where appropriate, delete the information.

International Visitors

3D Printing by Kevin is operated in the United States. Information may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws in your location.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, services, providers, business practices, or legal requirements.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Material changes may also be communicated through a website notice or email when appropriate.

Your continued use of the website after an updated policy becomes effective indicates your acknowledgment of the revised policy.
