STLSTEP to STL

Privacy

Temporary file handling for a small CAD conversion MVP.

This privacy page explains how the STEP/STP to STL converter handles uploaded files, generated outputs, IP-based guardrails, and operational logs in the current MVP.

Convert a STEP file

Uploaded CAD files

Uploaded STEP/STP files are written as temporary job files so the backend can convert them. The service is designed to clean managed job files after the request completes or fails.

  • Files are not used to create user accounts or long-term histories.
  • Generated STL files are returned to the browser for preview and download.
  • Do not upload confidential CAD models unless you accept the risk of using an online converter.

Abuse prevention data

The backend uses the client IP address to enforce daily quota and cooldown limits. Logs may include status codes, file size, elapsed time, and error codes so failures can be diagnosed.

What is not collected

The MVP does not provide login, billing, dashboards, saved projects, or persistent file libraries. That means it also does not ask for passwords, payment cards, or profile data.
