According to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office, Personal data is: ‘Information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. What identifies an individual could be a name or a number or could include other identifiers such as an IP address or a cookie identifier. If it is possible to identify an individual directly from the information then that information may be personal data.’

Primarily we collect and store personal data in order for us to provide our software and training services. Therefore, processing your personal data is necessary for the performance of the licence you have with Gen3D, or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a licence or training agreement. We may also store personal data in order to reach out to new people who we know could benefit from forming a business or educational relationship with Gen3D. We will only do so via appropriate business channels.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are: 

(a) Your consent. You are able to remove your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting legal@gen3d.com

(b) We have a contractual obligation.

(c) We have a legitimate interest.
