What we keep, and why
UnBuilt keeps as little as it can: your email if you give it, the machine ideas you send, and your votes. Nothing is sold or shared.
What we collect
- Your email address, when you subscribe, vote, or add one to a machine idea. We also note which form you used and when.
- Machine ideas: the machine and the details you type. If you add your email, it is stored with the idea so we can tell you when it's built.
- Votes: which idea you voted for, tied to your email, so each person gets one vote. Voting also adds you to the email list.
We don't ask for your name or anything else.
Why
To email you when a new model or video goes up, and when a machine you suggested or voted for gets built. Ideas are reviewed before they appear on the public board. Your email is never shown on the site.
Right now we only store addresses. When emails start going out, each one will have a one-click unsubscribe link.
Where it's stored
On Cloudflare, which hosts this site and its database. We don't sell, rent or share your information with anyone else. If we start using an email service to send the emails, this page will name it first.
Cookies and tracking
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics, ads or tracking pixels. The 3D models run entirely in your browser and load nothing from other sites.
- Your browser's local storage remembers a few things on your own device only: whether you closed the sign-up strip, which ideas you voted for, and the email you used, so you don't have to type it again. Clearing your browser's site data removes them.
- Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so Google sees your IP address when a page loads (no cookies).
- When you send a form, a spam check from Cloudflare Turnstile may run. It is used only to tell people from bots, not for ads or tracking.
- Once a video is embedded, it uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which doesn't store YouTube cookies until you press play.
Unsubscribe or delete your data
Write to [contact address to be added] from the address you signed up with, and say "unsubscribe" or "delete". We'll remove your email, your votes and the email on any idea you sent.
