Your rights
- You can always ask us to delete the data we have on you
- You can also always ask for us to give you the data we have on you
At SimplyPrint, we aim to only collect the minimum required data on our users. This means, we only ask for our user’s
phone number, if they want a text message when their print is finished and we only ask for their address when
required for invoicing.
We wish to be fully transparent in how we use your data. This privacy policy will explain what data we collect, how
we use it and what rights you have regarding your data.
What data do we collect?
Our company collects the following data:
-
Personal identification information; first name, last name, email address and optionally phone
number and address upon paid subscription
-
Company details for our Enterprise subscription; company name, email, country and timezone, address
and billing address, possibly phone number, full name of att. person, company VAT number, possibly EAN number in
Denmark
-
User info; on each user, other than the mentioned personal identification infromation above, we
store info about login sessions and the IP address of those sessions, as well as which pages within SimplyPrint
the user visited the given session, and how long the session was. An action log of every action the user makes
within the SimplyPrint platform (like starting a print, cancelling etc.), with the IP and possibly
country, city and region of the action. This is
done to help the user undo their actions, and for organizational profiles to see which user did what. The user’s
password is also stored in our databases, encrypted.
-
User files & folders; full file content, file name and extension, date uploaded and name of folders
-
Printers; local IP of the machine powering the printer (most likely Raspberry Pi), (private network
IP), SSID (network name) of the printer’s network, machine hostname, if Raspberry Pi; model
of the Raspberry Pi, API key of the locally installed OctoPrint, list of OctoPrint plugins installed and
possible “ABL” probe mesh data (auto bed leveling data provided by the printer).
Pending printers (that are not yet set up) provide us with the printer’s public IP address, which
is used to pair the user with their printer. If enabled by the user, the printer’s downtime (lost
internet connection) is logged with start and end date of downtime
-
Print jobs; each print a printer that is connected to SimplyPrint starts, is logged; whether it’s
started via. SimplyPrint or any other way (SD card, OctoPrint etc.),
as long as the Raspberry Pi / machine running SimplyPrint is connected to the printer.
For each print job we collect; date of start and finish, amount of times print was paused,
if the print finished, failed or was cancelled, percentage reached, time left of print, ID of user that prints,
filament usage (either calculated via. SimplyPrint, or provided by OctoPrint),
local name of the printed file, slicer used (when printed through SimplyPrint & analyzed),
and longitude latitude coordinates where the print was started, with 10-200 kilometer+ buffer, provided from the
machine’s IP address, gotten from https://geoplugin.com/
(find their privacy policy here) - the
coordinates are only used internally
-
Livestream & camera; when using a camera on the machine running SimplyPrint, the user has the option
to stream the camera feed to SimplyPrint.
This is done by the machine taking a picture, and sending the image file to SimplyPrint’s servers in a
secure request. The image is then stored for as little as 10 seconds, before it’s permanently removed.
We only store pictures up to 7 days, and the pictures can only be accessed by the account that owns the printer
which the picture is from
