Privacy policy for YAB3D for MakerWorld

Last updated: 4 November 2026. Publisher: r2k / YAB3D.

Model pages and files

The extension reads MakerWorld model-page content and the response to a download you request, so it can offer conversion and open the original project in YAB3D. It uses MakerWorld's existing sign-in and download flow. It does not read or store passwords, cookies or authentication tokens. When MakerWorld returns a file link, the extension downloads that file from MakerWorld's file hosting service.

Conversion runs in your browser. The extension does not upload model files to a server. If you choose Open in YAB3D, the original file, its filename and public model title are passed directly to the new https://yab3d.uk browser tab. The transfer checks the destination, sending window and a temporary random connection token. The website processes the file in the browser. Opening the website makes ordinary page and asset requests to its hosting provider; those requests contain normal connection information such as your IP address. Model bytes are not included in those requests.

Preferences and custom profiles

Print-profile selections, filament preferences and conversion options are saved in Chrome's settings storage. Chrome may sync these preferences using your Google account if browser sync is enabled. Imported custom printer profiles are stored locally in the extension. Neither preferences nor custom profiles are sent to YAB3D servers.

Models are held temporarily in browser memory during conversion or transfer. Downloaded projects and diagnostic reports remain on your device until you delete them. Diagnostic reports may contain filenames and project settings; they are not sent automatically. Review a report before choosing to share it for support.

Services, retention and controls

The extension interacts with MakerWorld and its file hosting service, Chrome storage/download features, and YAB3D when you choose to open a project there. It has no advertising, analytics or automatic remote crash reporting. It does not sell data, use it for unrelated purposes or use it for lending decisions.

Change preferences and remove imported profiles in the extension's settings. Remove the extension to remove its local extension storage; Chrome's account and sync controls manage any synced copy. Close the relevant tabs to release the in-memory model session. Delete downloaded files and reports separately from your device. MakerWorld and Chrome have their own privacy policies for their services.
