Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 9, 2026

At Luma3DS, your privacy is not just a policy it is a core principle of our development philosophy. As a project rooted in the open-source community, we understand the importance of data sovereignty and transparency. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, protect, and process information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

1. Data Collection and Usage

We collect minimal data to ensure our site remains functional and secure. The categories of information we may process include:

• Voluntary Information: When you contact us directly via cloudcorex4@gmail.com or provide feedback, we collect your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

• Log Data: Like most modern websites, our servers automatically collect “Log Data.” This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the specific pages you visit on our site. This information is used for security monitoring and to prevent malicious attacks (such as DDoS) on our infrastructure.

• Cookies and Tracking: We use essential cookies to maintain site performance. We may also use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how users find our content, which helps us prioritize updates for the most popular console models and software versions.

2. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, Luma3DS never collects or maintains information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not intentionally gather Personal Information from visitors who are under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with Personal Information (such as an email address) without their consent, they should contact us immediately at cloudcorex4@gmail.com. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our files immediately.

3. Third-Party Services

To provide a high-quality experience, we utilize specialized third-party services. These providers have their own privacy policies and may process data as follows:

• GitHub: Our software releases and source code are hosted on GitHub. When you download the Luma3DS assets, you are subject to GitHub’s privacy terms.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This allows us to track general traffic trends without identifying individual users personally.

• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): To ensure fast downloads for our global audience, we use CDNs that may log your IP address to deliver files from the server closest to your physical location.

4. Legal Compliance & International Rights

GDPR (European Union)

For our users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your data under the “Legitimate Interest” basis for security and site optimization. You have the right to access, rectify, or request the deletion of any personal data we hold. Since we do not use accounts or track console-specific IDs, our data footprint is exceptionally low.

Alaska Personal Information Protection Act (APIPA)

Operating from Juneau, Alaska, we comply with the Alaska Personal Information Protection Act. We maintain strict security standards to protect any information shared with us and have established protocols for rapid notification in the event of a data breach involving personal identifiers.

5. No Console-Level Tracking

The Luma3DS custom firmware itself does not collect, store, or transmit any data from your Nintendo 3DS console to our servers. Your gaming habits, private files, and system unique IDs remain entirely on your device and under your control.

6. Information Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your information. We use SSL encryption for all data transmitted through our website. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we encourage users to verify file hashes for all software downloads.

7. Contact and Data Requests

If you have questions regarding this policy or wish to exercise your rights to data access or deletion, please contact our data controller at:

• Email: cloudcorex4@gmail.com

• Phone: +971 55 912 8238

• Address: 21425 Glacier Hwy, Juneau, Alaska, 99801, USA

We reserve the right to update this policy as legal requirements or site features evolve. Please check this page regularly for any changes.
