Privacy & Cookie Policy

[ LAST UPDATED: JANUARY 11, 2026 ]

Welcome to bongs.design. We value your privacy and aim to be transparent about how we collect and use your data while you create with us.

1. Interaction Data (Comments & Design)

When you leave a comment or interact with our design studio, we collect the data shown in the form, your IP address, and browser type to help us filter out spam and optimize your experience.

• Profile Pictures: We may use an anonymous string (hash) from your email to check for Gravatar usage. Once approved, your profile picture is visible next to your comment.

2. Media, Uploads & 3D Files

When uploading images or 3D files for printing, please remove location data (EXIF GPS). While we keep your design files secure for production, other visitors could potentially download public images and see embedded location data.

3. Cookie Policy (EU Compliance)

In accordance with international privacy standards, we use cookies to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

• Experience Cookies: If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your details for 1 year so you don't have to re-type them.
• Analytics & Marketing: With your consent, we use cookies to understand how you interact with our design tools, helping us improve our 3D printing and streetwear offerings.

*You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time via your browser settings.*

4. Embedded Content

Our site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, social feeds). These external sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction if you are logged into their services.

5. Data Retention

• Comments: Kept indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
• User Accounts: Registered creators can see, edit, or delete their personal information (except usernames) at any time.
