PRIVACY
Privacy and data handling.
How CADSharp handles website inquiries, newsletter signup, and learning resources.
Access and browsing
Public resources do not require an account. Administration uses Cloudflare Access sign-in. Hosting and security providers process request information to operate and protect these services. No advertising or analytics integration is configured.
Inquiry previews
On private staging, submitted inquiry details are stored in a protected preview inbox in the staging database. The signed-in operator can review their own latest 50 submissions. No email is sent and no inquiry is delivered to a production CRM. In loopback local preview, inquiry tests are stored in a private local file.
Preview records are retained until an operator clears them; automated deletion is not configured. Use synthetic details for testing. Do not submit proprietary CAD files, credentials, or sensitive information.
Website inquiries
The live form collects your name, email, optional company and timing, service or product selection, platform or migration details, NDA preference and project summary. CADSharp uses these details to evaluate and respond to your request. Submitting an inquiry does not subscribe you to the newsletter.
We store your inquiry in our Cloudflare-hosted database and queue an email notification through Amazon Web Services SES to Keith or the colleague assigned to that inquiry type. Replies use your supplied email address. Authorized contact administrators can review inquiry details and delivery status.
Cloudflare Turnstile checks submissions to reduce automated abuse. The server uses a secret-based hash of your connection IP for short-lived rate limits; it does not store the raw IP in the inquiry database. Hosting, security and email providers may process connection and delivery information to operate their services.
Confirmed-delivered inquiry records are removed from the website database after 90 days. Inquiries without confirmed delivery and failed or uncertain deliveries remain for operator review until resolved or explicitly removed. Mailbox copies have a separate retention policy.
Contact keith@cadsharp.com about access to or removal of your inquiry. Deleting a database record does not delete copies in recipients’ mailboxes or provider records; these require separate review. Do not include confidential CAD data or credentials in this form.
Real project inquiries
Use the direct email link on the contact page for a real conversation. Tell us if an NDA is needed before sharing confidential project information. The preview form is not a confidential file-transfer channel.
Newsletter signup
Newsletter signup submits your email address directly to AWeber, our current newsletter provider. AWeber handles subscription confirmation and unsubscribe preferences. We use your email address to send CADSharp updates. Use the unsubscribe link in a newsletter to stop receiving them.
Learning resources and external links
Some resources include external services such as YouTube or link to Onshape documents. Loading external media or following an external link connects to that provider, whose own terms and privacy practices apply.
