Privacy Policy

How JetCad, LLC collects, uses, and protects your information when you use JetCad3.

JetCad, LLC Last updated: May 27, 2025


This Privacy Policy describes how JetCad, LLC ("JetCad," "we," "us," or "our"), a Michigan limited liability company, collects, uses, and shares information when you use JetCad3 software and the jetcad.io website (collectively, the "Service"). Please read it carefully.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.


1. Information We Collect

1a. Information You Provide

Account information. When you create a JetCad3 account, we collect your name, email address, and a password credential. Authentication is managed by Clerk, Inc. (see Section 3).

Billing and payment information. When you purchase a subscription or physical product, payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. We never see or store your full card number, CVV, or bank account details — those are handled entirely by Stripe. We do store your Stripe customer ID, subscription status, and transaction history to manage your account and fulfill orders.

Order information. For physical goods purchases, we collect your shipping name, address, and order details. This information is used solely to fulfill and ship your order.

Communications. If you contact us by email or through the community forum, we retain that correspondence.

Profile and settings. We store your in-app preferences and settings (such as preferred units and theme) associated with your account.

Cloud storage connections. If you connect Google Drive or OneDrive to JetCad3 for cloud file storage, we store an encrypted OAuth token that allows the desktop application to access your connected storage account on your behalf. We do not access, read, or store the contents of your cloud storage — the connection is used exclusively by the desktop application at your direction.

1b. Information Collected Automatically

Usage and analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use jetcad.io, including pages visited, time on page, approximate geographic region, and referring URLs. Google Analytics uses cookies. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Page views. We maintain an internal log of page views on jetcad.io, recording the URL path, approximate country, and referrer. This data is not linked to individual user accounts and is used for aggregate traffic analysis.

Download logs. When you download the JetCad3 desktop application, we log the platform (Mac/Windows/Linux), version, approximate country, and — if you are signed in — your user ID. This helps us understand adoption across platforms.

Log data. Our servers automatically record standard log data including IP addresses, browser type, and request timestamps. Logs are retained for 30 days for security and debugging purposes and are then deleted.

Cookies and local storage. We use cookies and browser local storage for authentication sessions (managed by Clerk) and to remember your preferences. We do not use advertising cookies or sell your data to advertisers.


2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and maintain your account
  • Process payments and deliver subscriptions
  • Fulfill and ship physical goods orders
  • Send transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping notifications, subscription receipts, license keys)
  • Send release announcement emails if you have opted in (you can opt out at any time from your dashboard)
  • Operate and improve the Service
  • Respond to support inquiries
  • Detect and prevent fraud and abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for behavioral advertising.


3. Third-Party Service Providers

We share information with the following service providers, who process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security standards:

Our servers are hosted on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Database backups are stored securely and encrypted at rest.

We do not share your personal information with any other third parties except as required by law or with your explicit consent.


4. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial compliance purposes (for example, Stripe transaction records are retained for 7 years as required by tax regulations).

Order records and associated shipping information are retained for 7 years for tax and legal compliance.

Page view logs and server logs are retained for 30 days and then deleted.


5. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest for sensitive credentials, and access controls limiting who within JetCad can access production data. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at admin@jetcad.io and we will delete it promptly.

Purchases and paid subscriptions require the ability to enter into a legally binding contract. In most U.S. states this requires being 18 years of age or older.


7. Residents of the European Union and United Kingdom

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, additional rights apply to you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR.

Legal basis for processing. We process your personal data on the following bases:

  • Contract: to provide the Service you have signed up for
  • Legitimate interests: to operate and improve the Service, prevent fraud, and send transactional communications
  • Consent: for optional communications such as release announcements (you may withdraw consent at any time)
  • Legal obligation: to comply with applicable laws including tax and financial record-keeping requirements

Your rights. You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to retention obligations)
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at admin@jetcad.io. We will respond within 30 days.

JetCad, LLC is the data controller for purposes of GDPR. We do not have a formal EU representative appointed at this time. If you have concerns that we have not adequately addressed, you have the right to contact your local data protection authority.


8. California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with certain rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of your personal information, and opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact admin@jetcad.io.


9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will send an email notification to registered users. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
