Privacy Policy

Official Data Protection Policy | FamilyMake™ LLC

At FamilyMake™, your privacy and the confidentiality of your intellectual property are our top priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information and digital designs.

1. Information Collection

  • Contact Information: We collect your name, email, and phone number to provide order status updates and receipts.
  • Physical Data: We collect shipping addresses to fulfill deliveries.
  • Digital Designs: We store the 3D models (STL files) you upload solely for the purpose of additive manufacturing.
  • Transactional Data: Payment details are processed securely by our partners (Stripe and Paystack). We do not store full credit card numbers in our own database.

2. IP Confidentiality

Confidentiality Guarantee:

FamilyMake LLC treats your 3D models as trade secrets. Our employees and contractors access your files exclusively for print preparation (slicing) and quality control. We do not share, sell, distribute, or reuse your proprietary designs for any other purpose without your explicit written consent.

3. Cookies & Tracking

We use session cookies and modern analytics tools (Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights) to improve site performance and user experience.

  • Session Management: To remember your cart and upload status during a browser session.
  • Performance Metrics: To monitor system vitals and ensure the high-performance 50MB upload engine is functioning optimally globally.

4. Data Retention

Your contact and order history are stored in our secure MongoDB Atlas clusters for business record-keeping and tax compliance. 3D model files are retained for a period of up to **90 days** after fulfillment to allow for re-printing in case of defects or replacement requests, after which they may be securely purged from our storage.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data.

  • Right to Erasure: You may request the immediate deletion of your 3D models from our servers after an order is fulfilled.
  • Contact: To exercise these rights, please email support@familymake.com.

6. Security Measures

We employ industry-standard encryption protocols (TLS/SSL) for all data in transit. Our database (MongoDB Atlas) is encrypted at rest and protected by multi-factor authentication and strict IP whitelisting.
