Privacy Policy & Terms of Use for 3D Printing Studio

Last Updated: September 30, 2026 · Applies to 3D Printing Studio version 3.4.1 and later

Local first: 3D Printing Studio stores your business data on your own device. We operate no servers, run no analytics, and never receive a copy of your data. The only time anything leaves your device is when you choose to back up to your own Google Drive, share an invoice, or activate your account.
This document has two parts. Part A is the privacy policy — what the app stores, what leaves your device and what does not. Part B is the terms of use, disclaimers and legal notes — including who is responsible for the GST and other figures on your invoices (you are — see section 18), how account activation works, and why you must keep your own backups. By installing or using the app you accept both parts.

Part A — Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

3D Printing Studio ("the app") is developed and published by NETSTED (Netsted Infotech), Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India. In this document, "we", "us" and "the publisher" refer to NETSTED, and "you" refers to the person or business using the app.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

The app is a business tool for 3D-printing makers. It stores the following in a database in the app's private storage on your device:

We do NOT collect, and the app does not contain:

The only identifier the app ever sends anywhere is the activation device identifier described in section 8, and only if you choose to activate your account. If you never activate, no identifier leaves your device.

The app has an "Analytics" screen. This shows your own business figures (revenue, profit, top customers, order trends) calculated on your device from your own records. It is not usage tracking, and nothing from it is transmitted anywhere.

3. Your Business, Tax and Bank Details

To print a proper invoice, the app lets you store your own business identity — address, GSTIN, logo, signature, and optionally your bank account details for payment.

4. Data About Your Customers — Your Responsibility

This app is designed for you to record details of other people — your customers' names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses and, where you use tax invoicing, their GSTIN.

Because that information is entered by you, held on your device, and never sent to us, you are the controller of that data and are responsible for it. This includes:

Depending on where you operate, laws such as India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act or the EU/UK GDPR may place obligations on you as a business. We provide the tool; complying with those obligations is your responsibility.

5. Phone Contacts — Copied, Never Linked

The customer form can build a customer from your phone's address book. One rule governs the whole feature: the app copies, it never links.

6. How Your Data Is Stored

Please note:

7. Google Drive Backup (Optional)

Cloud backup is entirely optional and is off until you connect an account. If you enable it:

Limited Use disclosure: 3D Printing Studio's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. We do not transfer, sell, or use Google user data for advertising, and we do not allow humans to read it.

8. Account Activation (Optional)

Some features of the app are unlocked by activating your account. Activation is optional — the app is fully usable without it.

Two separate things are described here, and neither happens on its own: asking us to set an account up, and using an activation once you have one. Until you choose to do one of them, no activation data leaves your device.

8a. Asking us to set an account up

Settings offers a Request account activation option. Tapping it opens a Google Form in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you fill that form in and submit it yourself — opening it sends nothing, and closing it sends nothing.

8b. Using an activation

If you do activate:

Limited Use disclosure: our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

9. Sharing Invoices and Exports

The app can generate a PDF invoice for an order and let you share it. Sharing only ever happens when you tap to do it. When you do:

10. Permissions the App Requests

The app does not request access to your camera, microphone, location, photos, SMS or call logs, and it never asks for permission to write to your contacts.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

12. Data Security

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Third-Party Services

The app uses these third-party services, and only when you choose to use the corresponding feature:

We do not sell, rent or share your data with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising.

14. Children's Privacy

3D Printing Studio is a business tool intended for adults running a 3D-printing operation. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

15. International Users

The app runs entirely on your device, and none of your business data is transferred internationally by us. If you enable Google Drive backup, or activate your account, the data described in sections 7 and 8 is stored in Google's infrastructure and Google's data-handling practices apply. Google operates globally, so that data may be processed outside your country.

The app's tax features are built around Indian GST. If you operate elsewhere, see section 18 — the figures are yours to verify in any case.

16. Changes to This Document

We may update this document from time to time — for example when the app gains a feature that handles data differently. Changes are reflected in the "Last Updated" date above, at the same address. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated document.

Part B — Terms of Use, Disclaimers and Legal Notes

17. Your Licence to Use the App, and Acceptable Use

18. GST and Tax Figures — You Must Verify Them

Please read this section carefully. It is the most important term in this document.

The app can put GST on an order and print a tax invoice. Every part of that is controlled solely by you:

What the app does is arithmetic on the values you supply. It does not know your registration status, your turnover, your place of business, your customer's status, which rate or exemption applies to what you sell, or how the law has changed since the version you are running was released.

Your responsibility, before you issue anything:

The publisher is not responsible for the GST or other tax charged, collected, omitted, split, reported or printed by the app; for any change in GST law, rates, classifications or filing requirements, or for the app not reflecting such a change; or for any consequence of a wrong figure — including penalties, interest, demands, notices, assessments, denied or reversed input tax credit, rejected invoices, disputes with customers, or loss of any kind. Those options and values are under your sole control, and the responsibility for them is yours.

This app is not tax, legal or accounting advice. It is not accounting software, it is not a GST return-filing tool, it does not connect to, file with or upload anything to any tax portal, and it does not replace a qualified professional. If you are unsure how tax applies to your business, consult a chartered accountant or tax adviser.

19. Other Figures the App Calculates

The same principle applies to everything else the app works out for you — pricing, printer running cost, packing, post-processing and delivery charges, discounts, profit and margin (including profit after settlement discounts, unpaid losses and refunds, and revenue after refunds), filament consumption and stock levels, the investment ledger, the money flow, and the analytics screen.

20. Invoices Are Documents You Issue

An invoice produced by the app is your commercial document. The publisher is not a party to it, does not see it, does not store it, and has no involvement in the transaction it records. Payment, delivery, refunds, warranties and disputes with your customer are entirely between you and them.

Bank details printed on an invoice are the ones you entered, exactly as you entered them. Check them: an incorrect account number or IFSC will send your customer's payment to the wrong place, and that cannot be undone by us.

21. Account Activation — How It Works

This section covers the commercial side of activation. The privacy side is in section 8.

22. What Activation Includes May Change

23. Availability, Internet and Device Time

24. Backups and Data Loss — Read This Before You Update

Your data lives on your device and nowhere else. We operate no storage of your business records and hold no copy. If your device is lost, stolen, reset, damaged or replaced, we cannot recover anything for you — we have nothing to recover from. Keeping backups is entirely your responsibility.

Take a backup before:

How to keep yourself safe:

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for any loss, corruption or unavailability of your data, however caused — device failure or loss, uninstall, a system or app update, a restore, a forgotten backup password, a Google account problem, or your own deletion.

25. No Warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted, that defects will be corrected, or that any figure it produces — tax, price, profit, stock or otherwise — is accurate, complete or suitable for your purposes.

We do not commit to any timeframe for responding to, investigating or resolving a bug, defect or support request, and we may decide not to fix a given issue at all. Support is provided on a best-effort basis by email, and whether, when and how an issue is addressed is at the publisher's sole discretion.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

26. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the publisher shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, contracts, savings or data, arising out of or in connection with the app or this document — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, and whether or not the publisher was advised of the possibility.

This includes, without limitation, any liability for: tax charged, collected, omitted, mis-split or mis-reported (section 18); penalties, interest, notices or denied input credit; incorrect prices, profits, margins or stock figures (section 19); a mistaken invoice, bank detail or customer record; loss of or inability to access your data (section 24); or any act or omission of Google or any other third-party service.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, the publisher's total aggregate liability for all claims arising in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount you actually paid for account activation in that period, or, if you have paid nothing, to INR 1,000.

Nothing in this document excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

27. Your Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the publisher against any claim, demand, penalty, loss or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising from your use of the app, from the documents and figures you issue with it, from the personal data of your customers that you record in it, or from your breach of this document or of any law applicable to your business.

28. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This document, and any dispute arising out of it or out of your use of the app, is governed by the laws of India. The courts at Trichy (Tiruchirappalli), Tamil Nadu, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction, save that nothing here prevents a consumer from relying on any mandatory protection available to them under the law of their place of residence.
