Hi all
Just received my X1 carbon and loving it. Probably like most, I accepted terms and agreements, as I already purchased the device.
However, how concerned are you about privacy and being tied to an overseas company?

In the privacy terms I found:
Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- Right:You may request us to erase certain of your personal data.or example, you can ask us to erase the personal data:
and then Bambu states
In certain situations, Bambu Lab is unable to delete your personal data in responding to your requests, including:
- when such personal data is still necessary to be processed to achieve the purpose we collected it for;
- Bambu Lab’s interest in using the data overrides your interest in having it deleted (e.g., when we need to process the personal data to protect our services from fraud); [notice this is only an example:
So basically you are at Bambu Labs whims when it comes to your data. And, since Bambu shares data outside US to its parent company in China, there is no chance of forcing compliance.
Wondering just why Bambu forces us to login into their servers when we only really need to set up the printer, run the software and printer on our LAN? Can’t we have the option to use the cloud AFTER we have the printer fully setup and ready to go?
And what if Bambu one day shut down servers, are we screwed? Is there more to it than company thinking it knows what is best for its customers?
Are these issue solved? Should I really not be worried what might happen?
