Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Privacy Notice for 3D Printcam ("we", "us", or "our") describes how and why we might access, collect, store, use, and/or share your personal information when you use our services.

100% On-Device Privacy Guarantee: 3D Printcam processes all video analysis and camera triggering exclusively inside your phone's memory. No video streams, photos, or 3D printer recordings are ever uploaded to any external server or cloud service.

3D Printcam enables 3D printing enthusiasts and makers to capture stable, printhead-docked timelapse videos using their iPhone or Android phone. The app uses real-time on-device computer vision to monitor the print bed, detect when the toolhead moves to a designated docking area between layers, and triggers a full-resolution still photo saved on the device—all without external hardware, IoT dongles, or cloud uploads.

Questions or concerns? Reading this Privacy Notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services. If you still have any questions or concerns, please contact us at support@anmule.com.
