tridiJump is a browser extension that helps users search and discover 3D models across multiple third-party repositories from one interface.
This Privacy Policy explains what information tridiJump stores or transmits, why it is needed, and which third-party services may receive information when you use the extension.
tridiJump is designed with privacy in mind.
tridiJump does not operate its own backend server and does not use analytics, telemetry, advertising, behavioral tracking, or user accounts.
tridiJump does not sell personal information.
tridiJump does not use user data for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, data brokerage, or unrelated purposes.
Some information must be transmitted directly to third-party 3D-model repositories when you ask tridiJump to perform a search. This transmission is necessary to provide the extension's core search functionality.
For repositories that are available only as direct-search destinations, information is sent to the repository only when the user explicitly opens that repository's search page.
When you perform a search, the search term you enter may be transmitted directly to repositories that are enabled for aggregated search.
tridiJump currently supports aggregated search results from:
Printables
Thingiverse
MyMiniFactory
Cults3D
Sketchfab
Smithsonian 3D
These repositories can provide results that are displayed directly inside the tridiJump interface.
tridiJump also supports certain repositories as direct-search destinations, including:
MakerWorld
Thangs
CGTrader
Creality Cloud
YouMagine
For direct-search providers, tridiJump does not fetch, scrape, parse, index, or aggregate the repository's search results.
Instead, when the user explicitly chooses the repository's native-search option, tridiJump opens the repository's normal public search page using the user's original search term.
Search terms are transmitted only for the purpose of performing functionality requested by the user.
tridiJump does not send search terms to a tridiJump-operated server.
The list of supported repositories may change as providers are added, removed, or change their available integration methods.
For repositories that support direct integration, tridiJump may send the user's search query directly to the repository's official API or other supported search interface.
The repository may return information such as:
model title;
creator or publisher;
model identifier;
preview image or thumbnail;
model URL;
file format information;
license information;
price or free/paid status;
categories or tags;
popularity or download information;
publication date;
other public model metadata made available by that repository.
tridiJump uses this information only to display search and discovery results requested by the user.
tridiJump does not maintain its own remote copy of this search data.
Some repositories do not provide an integration method suitable for displaying their results directly inside tridiJump.
For these providers, tridiJump may provide a native-search link.
When the user chooses such a link:
tridiJump constructs the repository's normal public search URL;
the user's original search term may be included in that URL;
the repository website is opened in the browser;
the repository then handles the search under its own privacy policy.
tridiJump does not automatically fetch or scrape direct-search result pages.
Direct-search providers are not contacted merely because they are enabled in the extension.
tridiJump includes an optional Expanded Search feature.
When enabled, Expanded Search may locally generate a limited number of related English or German search terms using lexical data included with the extension.
The generation of these related terms takes place locally on the user's device.
No external artificial-intelligence service, large language model, or remote translation service is used to generate Expanded Search terms.
When related terms are searched through repositories that support aggregated search, those terms may be transmitted directly to the corresponding repositories in the same way as the original search term.
Direct-search links continue to use the user's original search query unless otherwise clearly indicated by the interface.
Some supported repositories may require the user to provide an API key, access token, or similar authentication information before that provider can be searched.
When the user provides such credentials:
they are stored locally in browser extension storage;
they are used only for the corresponding provider;
they may be transmitted directly to that provider when required to authenticate a user-requested request;
they are not transmitted to a tridiJump-operated server;
they are not sold;
they are not used for advertising, profiling, analytics, or unrelated purposes.
tridiJump does not intentionally include private user credentials in publicly distributed extension packages or source-code repositories.
Users can remove configured provider credentials through the extension's settings where such controls are available.
Users may also revoke credentials through the corresponding third-party provider.
tridiJump uses browser extension storage to remember user preferences and provide its functionality.
Locally stored information may include:
enabled or disabled repositories;
extension settings;
theme preferences;
search preferences;
optional search history;
provider-specific configuration;
provider credentials supplied by the user.
This information remains in browser extension storage unless it is required to be transmitted to a third-party repository to perform a user-requested action.
tridiJump does not operate its own cloud synchronization service for this information.
Browser vendors may independently provide browser-profile synchronization functionality. Any such browser-level functionality is controlled by the browser vendor and is not operated by tridiJump.
When you perform an aggregated search, use a native-search link, or open a model result, you may interact with an independent third-party service.
Depending on the user's actions, enabled providers, and the version of tridiJump being used, these services may include:
Printables
Thingiverse
MyMiniFactory
Cults3D
Sketchfab
Smithsonian 3D
MakerWorld
Thangs
CGTrader
Creality Cloud
YouMagine
These services are independent from tridiJump and maintain their own privacy policies, terms, security practices, and data-processing practices.
Once information is transmitted to one of these services, or the user opens one of their websites, that service's own privacy policy applies to its handling of the information.
tridiJump does not control how independent third-party repositories process information they receive.
For aggregated repositories, tridiJump may display preview images, titles, creator information, licenses, file formats, pricing information, and other public model metadata returned by the corresponding provider.
These materials remain associated with and hosted by their respective third-party repositories unless otherwise stated.
tridiJump uses such information solely for search, discovery, identification, and navigation to the original model page.
tridiJump does not claim ownership of third-party model content, preview images, or metadata.
tridiJump does not collect or transmit user information for its own purposes relating to:
analytics;
telemetry;
advertising;
behavioral profiling;
cross-site tracking;
personalized advertising;
marketing;
data brokerage;
creditworthiness;
lending decisions;
insurance decisions;
employment decisions.
tridiJump does not maintain a database of users.
tridiJump does not maintain a remote database containing users' search histories.
There is no tridiJump account system.
tridiJump does not monitor, record, or collect a user's general web browsing history.
The extension interacts only with supported 3D-model services and browser functionality necessary to provide its disclosed search, discovery, settings, and navigation features.
Opening a model result or native-search destination sends the user to the corresponding third-party website in the normal way.
tridiJump does not use its permissions to monitor unrelated websites.
tridiJump requests access only to network hosts required for providers that support direct integration.
Host permissions are used only to communicate with the corresponding repository as necessary to provide user-requested search functionality.
tridiJump does not request general access to all websites for the purpose of tracking browsing activity.
Direct-search providers generally do not require host permissions because their websites are opened through normal browser navigation rather than fetched by the extension.
tridiJump does not sell user data.
tridiJump does not share user data with:
advertising networks;
data brokers;
analytics companies;
marketing platforms;
unrelated third parties.
Information is transmitted to supported 3D-model repositories only when necessary to provide functionality requested by the user.
For example, a search query may be sent to an enabled aggregated provider so that the provider can return matching models.
tridiJump is designed to limit network access and permissions to those required for its functionality.
Provider credentials should be treated as sensitive information.
tridiJump does not intentionally expose provider credentials publicly or include user-supplied credentials in distributed extension packages.
Because browser extensions execute on the user's device, users should protect access to their browser profile and operating-system account.
If a user believes a provider credential has been compromised, the credential should be revoked or replaced through the corresponding provider.
tridiJump does not operate a remote tridiJump database containing user accounts, search terms, browsing histories, or provider credentials.
Information stored locally by the extension remains in the user's browser profile until it is:
removed through the extension where such controls are provided;
cleared through browser storage controls;
removed when the extension is uninstalled and the browser removes its stored extension data; or
otherwise removed by the browser.
Provider credentials may additionally be revoked directly through the corresponding third-party provider.
Search requests sent to third-party repositories may be logged or retained by those repositories according to their own privacy policies and practices.
tridiJump does not control third-party retention periods.
tridiJump is a general-purpose 3D-model search and discovery tool and is not specifically directed at children.
tridiJump does not knowingly operate a system for collecting personal information from children.
Third-party repositories may have their own age requirements and policies.
This Privacy Policy may be updated when tridiJump's functionality, supported repositories, permissions, or data-handling practices change.
The date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision.
Material changes to data-handling practices will also be disclosed where required by applicable browser-store policies.
