Privacy policy

As of 5 November 2026.

Who is responsible

Max Freytag, Allersstr. 1, 21614 Buxtehude, Germany, mfreytag.studio@gmail.com. More in the imprint.

This policy covers splatpilot.com and the problem reports you can send from SplatPilot. SplatPilot renders and trains on your computer and sends nothing else.

Visiting this site

Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) hosts this site. When you open a page, your browser sends your IP address, the page’s address, the time and details of your browser and system to Cloudflare’s servers. Cloudflare needs these to deliver the page and records them in its logs. Cloudflare processes these data on my behalf.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR: my legitimate interest in a site that works and stays secure. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognises as adequate (Art. 45 GDPR).

This site sets no cookies. I use no analytics, no tracking and no profiling.

What your browser stores

The site keeps a few of your choices in your browser’s storage: the colour theme you pick, the tab you pick in instructions with tabs, and which sidebar groups are open. These choices stay in your browser and are not sent anywhere. Storing them is necessary for the features you use (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). You can delete them in your browser’s settings at any time.

The search runs in your browser as well. Your search words are not sent anywhere.

The demo’s 3D view

The demo shows splats with the PlayCanvas engine. When you switch the demo to 3D, your browser loads PlayCanvas from cdn.jsdelivr.net, which Volentio JSD Limited (England and Wales) runs with the networks that deliver its files. jsDelivr and those networks then receive your IP address and details of your browser. Before you switch to 3D, nothing loads from jsDelivr. The same applies to the demo inside SplatPilot’s page on Superhive Market.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR: my legitimate interest in showing the demo. For the United Kingdom, the European Commission has decided that its data protection is adequate (Art. 45 GDPR).

The videos

The trailer and the walkthrough play from YouTube. Until you click play, you see a picture from this site and nothing loads from YouTube. When you click play, your browser loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com, which Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) runs. Google then receives your IP address and details of your browser, can store information in your browser and counts the view. Google may process these data in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG), which you give by clicking play. You can withdraw it for the future by not playing the videos again and deleting the data YouTube stored in your browser. Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

Email

When you write to mfreytag.studio@gmail.com, I receive your email address, your name if you give it, and your message, and I use them to answer you. The mailbox is a Gmail account, so Google stores the messages. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for questions about SplatPilot or a purchase, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f). I delete the messages when your question is settled, unless the law requires me to keep them, such as for tax and business records.

The contact form

When you send the contact form on the imprint page, your browser sends your email address and your message to a small server at Cloudflare, Inc. (USA). The server files them as an issue in a private GitHub repository at GitHub, Inc. (USA), and GitHub notifies me by email. Cloudflare receives your IP address. The server uses it only to accept at most five messages a minute from one address, and does not store it. Cloudflare and GitHub are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

I use your email address and message only to answer you. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for questions about SplatPilot or a purchase, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f). I delete the message when your question is settled, unless the law requires me to keep it, such as for tax and business records.

Problem reports from SplatPilot

In Blender, you write a report with Report a Problem. SplatPilot sends a report only when you click Send, and only while Blender’s Allow Online Access is on. Click What Is Sent to see the exact text before you send it. With Save Report…, SplatPilot saves the report on your computer and sends nothing.

A report holds:

• your message, and your email address if you enter one;
• SplatPilot’s settings for the scene and how the last run ended;
• with Include System Info (on by default): the versions of Blender and SplatPilot, your operating system, GPU, CPU and memory;
• with Attach Logs (on by default): the logs of the scene’s last render and training, and Blender’s crash report if Blender wrote one.

In the paths in a report, SplatPilot writes your user folder as ~. Your scene file and its images are never sent.

SplatPilot sends the report to a small server at Cloudflare, Inc. (USA). The server files the report as an issue in a private GitHub repository at GitHub, Inc. (USA), and GitHub notifies me by email. Cloudflare receives your IP address. The server uses it only to accept at most five reports a minute from one address, and does not store it. Cloudflare and GitHub are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, support for the add-on you use, and Art. 6 (1) (f), my legitimate interest in finding and fixing problems. I use a report only to answer you and to fix the problem, and I delete it when it is no longer needed for that.

Links to other sites

Links to other sites, such as Superhive Market, GitHub or the sources of the scenes, lead to pages with their own privacy policies. Nothing is sent to those sites before you click a link.

Your rights

You can ask me for a copy of the data I hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR) and have it corrected (Art. 16), deleted (Art. 17) or its use restricted (Art. 18). You can receive data you gave me in a common format (Art. 20). You can object at any time to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21). Write to mfreytag.studio@gmail.com.

Complaints

You can complain to a data protection authority (Art. 77 GDPR), such as the one responsible for me: Die Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen, Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany, poststelle@lfd.niedersachsen.de.
