Privacy Policy & Data Telemetry Disclosures

SurfaceEvidence Case Files is dedicated to maintaining full transparency regarding the diagnostics, image logs, and analytical data collected across our additive manufacturing surface quality repository.

Section 01

1. Overview and Diagnostic Scope

SurfaceEvidence Case Files operates as an analytical open-access knowledge base detailing 3D print surface anomalies, Bambu Studio tuning parameters, and macroscopic defect forensic case studies. We do not operate user accounts, membership portals, or commercial tracking databases.

This Privacy Policy describes the technical scope of data processed when navigating our defect directory at Print Defect Directory or analyzing engineering write-ups at Quality Cases.

Section 02

2. Defect Telemetry & Slicer Profile Data

When users inspect diagnostic case cards or download comparative slice logs, certain non-personal telemetry data may be temporarily recorded in standard web server logs:

  • Client Technical Context: Browser type, operating system build, and viewport resolution for geometric card formatting.
  • Defect Query Coordinates: Search taxonomy filters (e.g., "VFA", "Pressure Advance", "Layer Separation") to calculate diagnostic index frequencies.
  • Timestamp & Resource Logs: Timestamped requests for profile parameter charts and optical inspection macro captures.

No Personally Identifiable 3D Geometry

All visual case files and surface evidence displayed on the portal are derived from generic test specimens (calibration cubes, pressure advance sweeps, flow rate matrices). We never solicit or store proprietary CAD geometries or identifiable mesh files.

Section 03

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We employ strictly functional, lightweight client-side storage keys to remember your display preferences and active directory filters across sessions.

localStorage: sf_filter_mode

Remembers active category filters (e.g., FDM Layer Artifacts, Extrusion Calibrations).

sessionStorage: sf_case_view

Temporarily retains active inspection tab state during uninterrupted browsing sessions.

Section 04

4. Storage, Security & Data Protection

We adhere to rigorous data hygiene standards. Web traffic is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections using industry-standard TLS encryption. No visitor data is sold, rented, leased, or distributed to advertising networks or third-party marketing databases.

For additional operational and structural platform terms, please review our Terms of Use and read our technical guidance boundaries in the Disclaimer.

Section 05

5. User Rights & Regulatory Inquiries

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under GDPR, CCPA, or related regional regulations), you maintain the right to verify whether any technical access identifiers associated with your IP subnet reside in server temporary cache logs.
