Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 23, 2026

Advanced 3D Printing LLC ("A3DP", "we", "us") operates advanced3dprinting.com and related services. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Who we are

Advanced 3D Printing LLC, 281 Hamptons Cove Rd, Troutman, NC 28166, USA. Contact: rob@advanced3dprinting.com or via our contact page.

Information we collect

• Order information. When you purchase, we collect what's needed to fulfill the order: name, shipping address, email, items ordered, and payment confirmation. Payment card details are processed by our payment providers (Shopify Payments/PayPal) and are never stored on our servers.
• Contact messages. When you message us through the contact form or email, we keep the message and your email address so we can reply and maintain a support history.
• Usage data (analytics). We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages and tools are useful. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as pages visited, approximate location (country/city), device type, and how long you stay. This data is aggregated and does not include your name or order details.
• Advertising cookies. If and when we display ads or use ad partners, ad cookies may be used to measure and (where you consent) personalize advertising. You can opt out of personalized Google advertising via Google Ad Settings, and California residents can use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.

How we use information

• Fulfilling orders, shipping, and handling returns/support
• Answering messages and providing customer support
• Improving our guides, calculators, and product pages (aggregate analytics)
• Detecting and preventing fraud and abuse
• Complying with legal and tax obligations

Sharing

We share information only with the parties needed to run the store: Shopify (platform), payment processors, shipping carriers, and analytics providers (Google Analytics). We do not sell your personal information. If we ever use affiliate links (see below), clicking one may tell the partner that you came from our site, but never any of your personal details.

Affiliate links

Some articles may contain affiliate links to products we recommend. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects the price you pay or our recommendations — we only link products we would use ourselves.

Data retention

Order records are kept as long as required for tax and legal purposes. Contact messages are kept while the relationship is active and for a reasonable period after. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics' standard retention period.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it (subject to legal retention requirements). California residents: see our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. To exercise any right, email rob@advanced3dprinting.com.

Cookies

Essential cookies keep the cart and checkout working. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) and advertising cookies are only used as described above, and where required by law we will ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Changes

If we change this policy materially, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, post a notice on the site.
