August 15, 2007

The Google Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal information when you use Google's products and services, including information provided when you use the 3D Warehouse. In addition, the following describes our privacy practices that are specific to the 3D Warehouse.

Personal Information

  • The 3D Warehouse is a feature of SketchUp that lets you search, share and store 3D models. Anyone may search and download models, but to submit a model, you must log in using a Google Account. Google asks for some personal information when you create a Google Account, including your alternate contact information and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access. A Google Account allows you to access many of our services that require registration.

Uses

  • Google maintains and processes your personal information in order to provide your 3D Warehouse access. Your nickname, but not other personal information, is displayed in connection with any model you upload to the 3D Warehouse and any collection you create in the 3D Warehouse.

Information sharing and onward transfer

  • When you fill out the contact the owner form within the 3D Warehouse, the content of that form and your email address will be provided to the collection or model owner through an email to the owner. Google will maintain a copy of that email in order to provide the functionality and to ensure compliance with the applicable terms of service.
  • If you are the owner of a collection or model within the 3D Warehouse, your email address will not be displayed to a user who contacts you using the contact the owner form in the 3D Warehouse. Your email address will only be displayed to that user if you elect to respond to the email sent to you from the user via the 3D Warehouse.
  • If you use the Google Groups service from within the 3D Warehouse, to create a group or post a comment relating to a model or collection, for example, your use of that service will be governed by the terms of service located here, and the additional privacy provisions located here.

Your choices

  • If you are the owner of a collection or model you may elect not to receive emails about your collection or model from other users from within the 3D Warehouse by de-selecting the option to allow users to contact you.
