PrivacyPolicy

The 3D model files you open, inspect, analyze, convert, or capture in GLBKit are processed in your own web browser. The file is read by browser code running on your device, and the result is produced there as well.

The model files you select are not uploaded to a GLBKit processing server, and GLBKit does not operate a model-file storage backend. This covers single files such as .glb, .gltf, .obj, .fbx, .stl, .ply, .3mf and .off as well as ZIP archives and multi-file packages containing a model together with its .bin buffers, .mtl material file, or texture images.

Viewers, the model analyzer, the format converter, and the screenshot and thumbnail tools all work this way. A screenshot or thumbnail is rendered in the browser from the model you loaded, and the image file is produced on your device for you to save.

Because the model never travels to a GLBKit server, its contents are not visible to GLBKit as part of normal tool use. You select files in your browser through a file picker or drag and drop. GLBKit does not provide a field for entering a remote URL, so a model is only requested over the network in one situation: when the file you selected points to an external resource inside it, for example a glTF file whose .bin buffer or texture images are hosted somewhere other than your ZIP package. In that case your browser fetches those referenced assets from wherever they are hosted.

GLBKit is not the host of such external files. If you choose to work with a model that references assets on a third-party server, that request goes to that server, and its operator receives the request in the same way it would for any other visitor.

GLBKit does not use uploaded 3D model files for advertising, and does not sell or license your model files.

GLBKit does not ask you to create an account, and it does not have a registration, sign-in, or profile feature. We do not ask for your name, address, or phone number to use any tool.

The information described below is technical and usage information. Depending on your choices and the consent you have given, it may include browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen size, language, the pages you visit and the order in which you visit them, the referring page or search that led you to GLBKit, approximate location derived from your IP address, interaction events such as clicks and scrolls, and page and load performance data.

Where you have permitted it, Microsoft Clarity additionally records how the page is used, which can include session recordings, heatmaps, scroll depth, and the text and elements visible on the screen during the session.

Where you have permitted it, advertising services may also use an advertising identifier, cookies, or similar technologies to serve and measure advertisements.

We do not request sensitive personal information in order to use the GLBKit website or its browser-based 3D tools, and we do not build profiles from the content of your 3D model files.

Information may be used to operate, maintain, secure and improve GLBKit and its browser-based tools.

Technical and usage information may be used to understand website traffic, measure performance, identify technical problems, improve usability, monitor security, and understand how features are used.

Where you have permitted it, interaction recordings and heatmap data may be used to identify pages that are confusing, controls that are difficult to find, and errors that are not reported to us directly.

Where advertising services are enabled, information may also be processed as necessary to deliver, measure, protect, and improve advertising services in accordance with applicable settings, consent requirements, and provider policies.

GLBKit is set up to display advertising through Google AdSense. Depending on your consent choices, your region, and the settings that apply to you, advertising on this site may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited.

Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, your IP address, or device identifiers to serve, measure, protect, and improve advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user’s previous visits to GLBKit or to other websites.

You can manage advertising personalization through Google Ads Settings, and you can review or withdraw your consent choices through the “Privacy & Cookie Settings” link in the site footer.

For more detail on how Google handles information from partner sites and apps, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Google processes that information under its own privacy policies.

Privacy, cookies, and advertising practices may vary depending on your location and applicable laws.

Where required, GLBKit may request consent before certain cookies, local storage technologies, analytics technologies, or advertising technologies are used.

GLBKit uses Google’s consent management platform delivered through Google AdSense Privacy & Messaging. Where that message is presented, it is the consent message you interact with, and it allows you to accept, reject, and manage individual purposes and vendor choices.

GLBKit also implements Google Consent Mode. Analytics and advertising storage signals are set to denied by default before Google measurement and advertising tags run, and are updated to granted only when the applicable consent signal allows it.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google has additional consent requirements for publishers using Google advertising products.

Where required, the applicable version of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework is used for consent signalling. Google may update its consent requirements, and those requirements can change over time.

Where applicable, users may be provided with controls to accept, reject, or manage relevant consent choices and to withdraw consent. You can revisit your saved choices at any time using the “Privacy & Cookie Settings” link in the site footer, which opens Google’s consent management interface where that interface is available, and otherwise returns you to the cookies section of this policy.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to personal information processed by GLBKit. These rights may include:

• requesting access to personal information we hold about you;
• requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• requesting deletion of personal information where applicable;
• objecting to or requesting restriction of certain processing;
• requesting a portable copy of certain information where applicable; and
• exercising applicable rights relating to advertising, cookies, or data sharing.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, please contact us.

Rights and available procedures vary by jurisdiction, and certain legal exceptions may apply.

3D model files processed in your browser are not received by GLBKit, so there is no GLBKit copy of your model, your conversion output, your screenshots, or your thumbnails to retain.

Technical and usage information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as analytics, security, service operation, performance monitoring, and legal compliance.

Third-party service providers, including Microsoft Clarity and Google, may retain information according to their own retention settings, configurations, and applicable legal requirements.

GLBKit does not sell your personal information, and does not use the contents of your 3D model files for advertising.

Where you have given consent, advertising and measurement providers may place cookies or use similar identifiers. Where you have not, those identifiers may still be used in a limited or non-personalized form, and you can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings as described above.

Information may be shared with the service providers listed in the Third-Party Services section when necessary to operate the website, deliver advertising, maintain security, monitor performance, prevent abuse, or comply with legal obligations.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of GLBKit, its users, or others, or when required by applicable law.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures are applied mainly to the website itself, because 3D model files are processed on your device rather than on a GLBKit server.

Browser-based model processing can reduce the need to transmit supported model files to a server, but no internet transmission, browser environment, or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

GLBKit is a general-purpose 3D and developer tool and is not specifically directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable privacy laws. If you believe a child has provided personal information through GLBKit, please contact us.

You may control certain cookies and local storage technologies through your browser settings, and you can block or delete cookies for this site there.

Where applicable, you may manage advertising personalization through Google Ads Settings and other controls provided by advertising providers.

Withdraw consent. You can revisit your consent choices at any time using the “Privacy & Cookie Settings” link in the site footer. Where Google’s consent interface is available, that link opens it, where you can accept, reject, or withdraw consent for individual purposes and vendors, including Microsoft Clarity and Google advertising and measurement. If that interface is not available, the link takes you to the cookies section of this policy instead.

You can also opt out of Microsoft Clarity entirely by adding the standard Clarity exclusion to your browser, or by blocking the provider. Refer to Microsoft’s privacy statement for how that service handles information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technologies, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
