ConvertMesh is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our 3D file conversion service.

When you use our conversion service, you upload 3D files (STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, STEP, GLTF, etc.) for processing. These files are:

  • Processed temporarily on our servers for conversion purposes only
  • Automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours
  • Never stored permanently or used for any purpose other than conversion
  • Not accessible to our staff unless required for technical troubleshooting

  • Performance metrics and error rates
  • Geographic location (country/region level only)
  • Device and browser information

API Keys and Account Information

For Pro users who purchase API keys, we collect minimal account information necessary for service delivery and billing. API keys are used solely for authentication and usage tracking.
