We do not use Google Search Console to intentionally collect personal information from visitors.

We use Cloudflare for website security, performance, traffic management, content delivery, and protection against malicious or abusive activity.

Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, device information, request information, and other data necessary to provide security and network services.

Cloudflare may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with certain security and functionality features.

2.4 Google AdSense

We may use Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site.

Google and its partners may use cookies, identifiers, and similar technologies to measure advertising performance, provide advertisements, limit repeated advertisements, and, where permitted, personalize advertising based on applicable settings and consent.

The types of advertising and personalization used on 3DPlexus may depend on visitor location, consent choices, browser settings, and Google’s advertising configuration.

Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before using non-essential advertising cookies or similar technologies.

You can learn more about Google’s advertising practices and available controls through Google’s advertising and privacy resources.

2.5 Amazon Associates and Other Affiliate Programs

3DPlexus may participate in Amazon Associates and other affiliate programs.

When you click an affiliate link, the relevant affiliate network, retailer, or merchant may use cookies, tracking links, referral identifiers, or similar technologies to determine that you arrived from 3DPlexus and to attribute a qualifying purchase or other action.

We may receive a commission when you make a qualifying purchase through certain affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate networks and merchants may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies.

3DPlexus does not control the privacy practices of Amazon or other third-party merchants and affiliate networks.

3. Third-Party Download Links and 3D Model Files

3DPlexus may publish links to downloadable STL files and other digital 3D-model files hosted by third-party services, including services such as Google Drive and other file-hosting or model-hosting platforms.

In many cases, 3DPlexus does not directly host the downloadable file.

When you click a download link, you may be redirected to or interact directly with a third-party website or service.

That third party may collect information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, cookies, account information, download activity, or other technical information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Your use of such third-party services is governed by their respective policies and terms.

3DPlexus is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, content, or policies of third-party download or file-hosting services.
