Privacy policy

This policy explains what Tinker Beaver collects when you use tinkerbeaver.com, why, and your choices. We don't sell your personal information.

What we collect

• Account: your email, name if you give it, and a scrambled (hashed) password. If you sign in with Google, we get your email, name and profile picture from Google.
• Workshop settings: your machine, material and kerf, so tools fit your laser.
• Designs: the settings and text you enter in tools, and a record of files you download.
• Billing: handled by Paddle. We receive your plan, billing country and payment status, never your card number.
• Usage: pages visited and actions like previews and downloads, plus basic technical data such as IP address and browser, to run and improve the Service and prevent abuse.

How we use it

• To provide the tools, your account and downloads.
• To send account emails: sign-in help, receipts, billing notices.
• To send occasional tips about using the tools. You can unsubscribe from these at any time with one click.
• To prevent fraud and abuse, and to understand which tools are useful.

Who we share it with

Only the service providers we need to run Tinker Beaver:

• Paddle (payments, tax and receipts; Merchant of Record)
• Resend (email delivery)
• Google (only if you choose Sign in with Google)
• Cloudflare and our hosting provider (delivering and hosting the site)

We may also disclose information when required by law.

Cookies

We use cookies needed to keep you signed in and secure. Your workshop settings may be stored in your browser if you don't have an account. We don't use advertising cookies.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account is open. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except records we must keep for tax or legal reasons.

Your rights

You can see and change your details in your account, delete your account there, and ask us for a copy of your data. Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU), you may have more rights; we honor them for everyone. Write to [email protected].

Children

The Service isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll tell you by email or on the site.
