Who We Are

3D Printer Nerd operates the website 3dprinternerd.com. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

When you visit this site, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools automatically collect standard technical information:

  • IP address (anonymized where supported)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL and pages visited
  • Time and duration of visit

This information is used solely to understand how people use the site — which articles help, where readers come from, and what content needs improvement. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.

Voluntarily Provided

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and whatever information you choose to include in your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to any mailing list without explicit consent.

Cookies

This site uses minimal cookies:

  • Analytics cookies: We may use a privacy-focused analytics service that sets a first-party cookie to distinguish visitors. No personal data is collected.
  • Affiliate cookies: When you click an affiliate link, the retailer (such as Amazon) may set a cookie to track the referral. These are third-party cookies governed by the retailer’s privacy policy.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The site will function normally without them.

Affiliate Disclosure

3D Printer Nerd participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs. When you click a link to a product and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Per FTC guidelines: we only recommend products we believe are appropriate for the described use case. Affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. Articles containing affiliate links are not paid promotions.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

  • Website hosting: Standard server logs for operation and security
  • Analytics: Aggregated, anonymized traffic data to improve content
  • Amazon Associates: Affiliate link tracking

We do not embed third-party advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers on this site.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes, then deleted. Email correspondence is retained for reference unless you request deletion.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing of your data
  • Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
