Hey 
Currently working on some sensitive assets I do not own, I would be glad to be able to use the BabylonJS sandbox to preview some .glb and .babylon files, but I’m wondering about the level of privacy of https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/ viewer.
I would need the confirmation from devs that nothing is sent to the server, and everything stays local anyway…
Thanks !
The best test is to disconnect your cable/Wi-Fi after accessing the sandbox page and check
You may build and run your own version of Sandbox locally.
With this guide and cdnsnapshot.zip from each release, you can make it fully local, either on air-gapped lan, or just your computer

Hey guys,
Thanks for the replies. Maybe my question was not clear. I know about running the tool locally but my question was realy on the official online one. I work with some non-coders colleagues, and just wanted to know if they are safe to check some files from the project, on the official BJS sandbox
The sandbox can run serverlessly on any static server, but playground is really a different thing, everything saved with a “short link” is saved on a server, so you’ll need your own one for security.
The source code is here:
The only part that could be sent back are snippets of node materials particles and such but in view only mode, nothing is sent back to server.
And if anything, let us know as it would definitely be a real privacy issue we d need to address ASAP.
I use it with sensitive assets often
I was about to say the same. The sandbox is fully running on user computer. Nothing is sent to the server beside the classic Google Analytics metrics.
I just checked a PR that adds PWA support for the sandbox and supports full offline mode. It should deploy to our regular URLs in the next couple of days.
