Privacy Policy

FlexiSlugs ("we", "us", "our") values your privacy and is committed to transparent data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit flexislugs.com, how it is used, and your rights regarding your personal data.

Data Controller: FlexiSlugs. For all privacy-related inquiries, you can reach our team directly at flexislugsco@gmail.com.

We practice data minimization and collect only the minimal data required to provide a functional, high-performance, multilingual website:

• Technical Connection Data: Standard web server logs (IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, timestamp, requested URI) processed for security, CDN caching, and DDoS mitigation;

• Locale & Preference Data: Language selection cookies and approximate country headers;

• Communications Data: Information you voluntarily provide when emailing our support team.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, precise GPS geolocation, biometric information, or financial payment details directly on our website.

To provide an optimal user experience for international visitors, our web infrastructure inspects incoming network headers (such as x-vercel-ip-country or Accept-Language) solely to infer an approximate country code and deliver the website in your preferred language (e.g., German for Germany, French for France, Japanese for Japan).

Key Privacy Guarantees:

• We do NOT track or store your precise geographic coordinates or GPS location;

• Country detection occurs ephemerally at the network edge to determine initial route redirection;

• If you manually select a language, your choice is stored in a first-party cookie (NEXT_LOCALE) and permanently overrides automatic geo-detection.

Cookies & Local Storage Used on FlexiSlugs:

• NEXT_LOCALE (Cookie): Stores your manually selected language preference (1-year lifespan, SameSite=Lax);

• cookie-consent (Local Storage): Records whether you accepted or declined cookie preferences;

• Google Analytics (Optional / G-51FMDGXSG2): Collects anonymized, aggregated traffic data (page views, button interactions, general referral sources) to help us improve site performance and user experience.

You can modify your cookie settings at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer.

We partner with reputable infrastructure and marketplace providers:

• Thangs (Physna, Inc.): Manages membership authentication, subscription billing, payment processing, and authenticated file downloads under their independent privacy policy;

• Vercel Inc.: Provides global edge hosting, serverless computing, and CDN delivery;

• Google LLC: Provides aggregated web analytics;

• Social Platforms (MakerWorld, Cults3D, MyMiniFactory, Instagram): External links operate under each platform’s respective terms and privacy policies.

Server access logs are retained for short operational security periods before automatic deletion. Language preference cookies remain on your device for up to 12 months or until cleared.

All web traffic is encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS 1.3 / HTTPS encryption protocols.

Depending on your location (including the European Economic Area, UK, California, Brazil, and Japan), you may have legal rights to:

• Access, rectify, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you;

• Restrict or object to processing of your personal information;

• Withdraw consent previously granted for analytics cookies;

• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact flexislugsco@gmail.com.
