ULTIMAKER PRIVACY POLICY
LAST UPDATED: April 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how UltiMaker collects, uses, stores, and shares information in connection with the Sites, your UltiMaker Account, and Services. This Privacy Policy forms part of the UltiMaker Account Terms of Use and is incorporated by reference into those Terms. Any additional privacy-related terms referenced in this Privacy Policy, including the Children’s Privacy Policy, also form part of the UltiMaker Account Terms of Use. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings given in the Terms of Use.
By (i) accessing the Sites, with or without an UltiMaker Account, (ii) registering for or using an UltiMaker Account, or (iii) using any of our Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION ULTIMAKER COLLECTS.
“User Personal Information” is any information about one of our users which could, alone or together with other information, personally identify them or otherwise be reasonably linked or connected with them. Information such as a username and password, an email address, a real name, an Internet protocol (IP) address, and a photograph are examples of User Personal Information. User Personal Information does not include aggregated, non-personally identifying information that does not identify a user or cannot otherwise be reasonably linked or connected with them. We may use such aggregated, non-personally identifying information for research purposes and to operate, analyze, improve, and optimize our websites and services.
1.1. INFORMATION USERS PROVIDE DIRECTLY TO ULTIMAKER.
a. Registration information. We require some basic information at the time of account creation. Depending on the services you register for, we may ask for your full name, work email address, location, job role, industry, company name and size, phone number and product of interest.
b. Payment information. We may collect the information needed to complete the billing and payment process for any purchases. In limited cases, we may request banking details, but generally payments are handled by third-party processors. Depending on the method of payment you choose, we will pass on this information to a third-party payment processor, which may retain your payment information to facilitate subscription renewals. For reseller purchases, UltiMaker does not typically receive your payment or billing information unless you provide it directly for activation or support.
c. User Content. UltiMaker processes and stores User Content solely to provide the Services to you, for example, to prepare print jobs or enable you to access your files through your UltiMaker Account. UltiMaker does not use your User Content for advertising, profiling, or other unrelated purposes. You remain the owner of your User Content. Ownership and licensing of User Content are governed by the Terms of Use.
1.2. INFORMATION ULTIMAKER AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTS FROM YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES.
a. Transactional information. If you use any of our paid services, we automatically collect certain information about your transactions on our services, such as the date, time, and amount charged.
b. Usage Information. If you’re accessing our services or website, we automatically collect the same basic information that most services collect, subject, where necessary, to your consent. This includes information about how you use our services, such as the pages you view, the referring site, your IP address and session information, and the date and time of each request. This is information we collect from every visitor to the Sites, whether they have an account or not. This information may include User Personal Information. If you’re using our UltiMaker Cura product, we automatically collect anonymous data to improve print quality and user experience, including: machine types, material usage, number of slices and print settings. Data collected by UltiMaker Cura will not contain any personal information.
c. Cookies and Similar Technologies Information. As further described below, and subject, where applicable, to your consent, we automatically collect information from cookies and similar technologies (such as cookie ID and settings) to keep you logged in, to remember your preferences, and to identify you.
1.3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM THIRD PARTIES.
UltiMaker may collect User Personal Information from third parties. For example, this may happen if you sign up for training or to receive information about UltiMaker from one of our vendors, partners, or affiliates. UltiMaker does not purchase User Personal Information from third-party data brokers.
2. INFORMATION ULTIMAKER DOES NOT COLLECT.
We do not intentionally collect “Sensitive Personal Information”, such as personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation. If you choose to store any Sensitive Personal Information on our servers, you are responsible for complying with any regulatory controls regarding that data. We do not intentionally collect User Personal Information from anyone we know to be under the age of 16 (“Child” or “Children”). UltiMaker applies these protections uniformly to all users under 16, regardless of location. Children who wish to register an UltiMaker Account must provide verifiable parental consent from their parent or guardian (“Parent”) as described in the UltiMaker Children’s Privacy Policy. If we learn that we have collected User Personal Information from a Child without the required consent, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete it as quickly as possible. Where our services are used in an educational context, we may collect and process student data as authorized by the educational institution or Parent. UltiMaker cannot be held responsible for any Personal Information entered by the user into free-form content inputs.

You can always see what information we have, how we’re using it, and what permissions you have given us in your user profile.
k. We use User Content solely to provide the Services as described above.
4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION.
To the extent that our processing of your User Personal Information is subject to certain international laws (including, but not limited to, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)), UltiMaker is required to notify you about the legal basis on which we process User Personal Information. UltiMaker processes User Personal Information on the following legal bases:
a. Contract Performance. When you create an UltiMaker account, you provide your registration information. We require this information for you to enter into the Terms and Conditions agreement with us, and we process that information on the basis of performing that contract. We also process your username and email address on other legal bases, as described below. If you use any of our paid services, we collect and process additional payment information on the basis of performing that contract.
b. Consent. We rely on your consent to use your User Personal Information under the following circumstances: when you fill out the information in your user profile; when you decide to participate in a UltiMaker training, research project, beta program, or survey; and for marketing purposes, where applicable. All of this User Personal Information is entirely optional, and you have the ability to access, modify, and delete it at any time. While you are not able to delete your email address entirely, you can make it private. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
c. Legitimate Interests. Generally, the remainder of the processing of User Personal Information we perform is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interest, for example, for legal compliance purposes, security purposes, or to maintain ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of UltiMaker’s systems, Sites, and Service. If you would like to request deletion of data we process on the basis of consent or if you object to our processing of personal information, please mail us at [email protected].
5. HOW WE SHARE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT.
5.1. We may share your User Personal Information with third parties under one of the following circumstances:
a. With your consent. We share your User Personal Information, if you consent, after letting you know what information will be shared, with whom, and why.
b. With service providers. We share User Personal Information with a limited number of service providers who process it on our behalf to provide or improve our Service, and who have agreed to privacy restrictions similar to the ones in our Privacy Policy by signing data protection agreements or making similar commitments. Our service providers perform payment processing, customer support ticketing, network data transmission, security, and other similar services. While UltiMaker processes all User Personal Information in the European Economic Area, our service providers may process data outside of the European Economic Area. If you would like to know who our service providers are, please see the section below on ‘Our use of cookies and tracking’.
c. With resellers. When you request a subscription to UltiMaker Digital Factory software, we may share the information you provide in the request, with the reseller you selected earlier when purchasing UltiMaker products or services, or the reseller we assign to you upon your request, so that he/she may advise you on and support you in the use of UltiMaker Essentials.
d. For security purposes. If you are a member of an organization, UltiMaker may share your username and Device Information associated with that organization with an owner and/or administrator of the organization who has agreed to the Corporate Terms or applicable customer agreements, to the extent that such information is provided only to investigate or respond to a security incident that affects or compromises the security of that particular organization.
e. For legal disclosure. UltiMaker strives for transparency in complying with legal process and legal obligations. Unless prevented from doing so by law or court order, or in rare, exigent circumstances, we make a reasonable effort to notify users of any legally compelled or required disclosure of their information. UltiMaker may disclose User Personal Information or other information we collect about you to law enforcement if required in response to a valid subpoena, court order, search warrant, a similar government order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties or the public at large.
f. Change in control or sale. We may share User Personal Information if we are involved in a merger, sale, or acquisition of corporate entities or business units. If any such change of ownership happens, we will ensure that it is under terms that preserve the confidentiality of User Personal Information, and we will notify you on our Sites or by email before any transfer of your User Personal Information. The organization receiving any User Personal Information will have to honor any promises we made in our Privacy Policy or Terms.
g. Aggregate, non-personally identifying information. We share certain aggregated, non-personally identifying information with others about how our users, collectively, use UltiMaker, or how our users respond to our other offerings, such as our conferences or events. For example, we may compile statistics on activity across UltiMaker domains.
5.2. We do not sell your User Personal Information for monetary or other consideration.
6. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
UltiMaker employees do not access 3D designs in our systems unless required for security purposes, to assist the repository owner with a support matter, to maintain the integrity of our services, or to comply with our legal obligations. However, while we do not generally search for content in your repositories, we may scan our servers and content to detect certain tokens or security signatures, known active malware, or child exploitation imagery. If you register with UltiMaker under a corporate account your information may be shared with the account’s owner.
7. HOW YOU CAN ACCESS AND CONTROL THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT.
7.1. If you’re already an UltiMaker user, you may access, update, alter, or delete your basic user profile information by editing your user profile or contacting UltiMaker Support . You can control the information we collect about you by limiting what information is in your profile, by keeping your information current, or by contacting UltiMaker Support. If UltiMaker processes information about you, such as information UltiMaker receives from third parties, and you do not have an account, then you may, subject to applicable law, access, update, alter, delete, or object to the processing of your personal information by contacting UltiMaker Support.
7.2. Data portability. As an UltiMaker user, you can always take your data with you. You can clone your models/designs to your desktop, for example, or you can send a request to [email protected] to have them sent to you.
7.3. Data retention and deletion of data. Generally, UltiMaker retains User Personal Information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We retain Personal Information collected from a Child only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purpose. If verifiable parental consent is not obtained, or is later withdrawn, the data will be securely deleted. If you would like to cancel your account or delete your User Personal Information, you can send a request to [email protected]. We retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, but barring legal requirements, we will delete your full profile (within reason) within 90 days of your request. You may contact UltiMaker Support to request the erasure of the data we process on the basis of consent within 30 days.
8. OUR USE OF COOKIES AND TRACKING.
8.1. Cookies. UltiMaker uses cookies to make interactions with our services easy and meaningful. Cookies are small text files that websites often store on computer hard drives or mobile devices of visitors. We use cookies (and similar technologies, like HTML5 localStorage) to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and provide information for future development of UltiMaker. For security purposes, we use cookies to identify a device. By using our Sites, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your computer or device. If you disable your browser or device’s ability to accept these cookies, you will not be able to log in or use UltiMaker’s services. We provide a web page on cookies and tracking that describes the cookies we set, the needs we have for those cookies, and the types of cookies they are (temporary or permanent). It also lists our third-party analytics providers and other service providers, and details exactly which parts of our Sites we permit them to track.
8.2. Tracking and analytics. We use a number of third-party analytics and service providers to help us evaluate our users’ use of UltiMaker products and services, compile statistical reports on activity, and improve our content and Sites performance. We only use these third-party analytics providers on certain areas of our Sites, and all of them have signed data protection agreements with us that limit the type of User Personal Information they can collect and the purpose for which they can process the information. In addition, we use our own internal analytics software to provide features and improve our content and performance.

We provide a high standard of privacy protection—as described in this Privacy Policy—to all our users around the world, regardless of their country of origin or location, and we are proud of the levels of notice, choice, accountability, security, data integrity, access, and recourse we provide. We work hard to comply with the applicable data privacy laws wherever we do business, working with our Privacy & Security Manager as part of a cross-functional team that oversees our privacy compliance efforts. Additionally, if our vendors or affiliates have access to User Personal Information, they must sign agreements that require them to comply with our privacy policies and with applicable data privacy laws.

d. We provide our users notice, choice, accountability, security, and access regarding their User Personal Information, and we limit the purpose for processing it.

11. HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.
We use your email address to communicate with you for service-related and other operational purposes, such as responding to support requests, sending system or policy updates, or providing notifications you have chosen to receive.
We may also send you marketing communications in accordance with applicable laws. In most jurisdictions, this means only with your prior consent.

You can withdraw your consent or opt out at any time by updating your preferences or using the unsubscribe link included in our emails. Please note that you cannot opt out of important service-related communications, such as responses from our Support team or system notifications.
