Information We Collect

When you visit the Websites, register for our store, our forums, our cloud page, or apply for a job through our career page, we collect Navigational Information and may request that you provide Personal Information. Often you are able to choose what information you provide, but from time to time we may require certain information in order to provide the Services.

Personal Information

“Personal Information” means any information that identifies you personally, including your name, e-mail address, company name, address, phone number, and other personally identifiable information about you or your business. Personal Information can also include information about any transactions, both free and paid, that you enter into on the Websites. Personal Information may further include your IP address or other Navigational Information, discussed below, if such information can be used to identify you.

Navigational Information

“Navigational Information” means information about your computer and your visits to the Websites such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit, and pages viewed.

Information About Children

The Websites are not intended for or targeted at children under 13 years old, and we do not knowingly or intentionally collect information about children under 13. If you believe that we have collected information about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@uniz.com, so that we may delete the information.

Diagnostic and User Information

During installation, Uniz software may ask you to consent to the collection of diagnostic information regarding your use of Uniz software or hardware in order to help our engineers improve Uniz products. If you consent, you agree that Uniz may collect, maintain, and use information about the operation of your Uniz hardware and software, such as hardware serial numbers, print times, and 3D model sizes. No models, 3D geometry, or Personal Information will be collected without your additional and explicit consent.

If you choose to create an online account with the Uniz Cloud or use a printer that has been previously connected to the Uniz Cloud, you agree that Uniz may collect, maintain, and use information about the operation of your Uniz hardware and software, such as hardware serial numbers, print times, resin type and volume, temperature, 3D model size, and other information relevant to printer operation. Further, the Cloud users agree to share an isometric view of 3D models to be used for preview purposes within the user interface. Full models, 3D geometry, and Personal Information will not be collected without your additional and explicit consent. By opting to use our “Remote Print” feature, you are consenting to share part print files with Uniz. Uniz will use these print files in accordance with this Privacy Policy in order to remotely upload your object to the designated printer through Cloud. Uniz may ask you to provide feedback regarding your printing experience. Any feedback will also be collected, maintained, and used by Uniz in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Information collected for and by the Uniz Cloud will be associated with specific printers, identifiable by serial name. Users will access the printer through an encrypted MAC address where they will be prompted to create a username and password. Users who create an account will be able to associate printers with their account using the unique encrypted MAC address of the printer accessible via the printer’s user interface. Multiple user accounts may be associated with each printer, but each user must have physical access to the printer. Each user will be able to see every print job queued to the printer, but will be unable to associate print jobs with specific users unless the users self-identify in the print job’s title.

The use of any information collected is governed by the relevant current legislation in your region as well as this Privacy Policy. Should we wish to use your Personal Information for a purpose requiring your explicit consent in accordance with such legislation, we will request your explicit consent in each case.

Simply put, we can’t provide you with the Websites or Services and perform our contract with you without moving your Personal Information around the world.

Corporate Events

If we (or our assets) are acquired by another company, whether by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or otherwise, the acquiring company would receive all the information, including Personal Information, gathered by Uniz through the Websites and Services.
