Who We Are (Data Controller)

Softoto is a trading name of Eurl Nitrosoft LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16294173).

We are an independent publisher covering software and technology. Currently, we operate two main services:

The Software Library is a free collection of popular, verified applications for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. The Blog offers independent articles, how-to guides, reviews, and cybersecurity news.

We do not sell software licenses or process payments at this time. If and when we introduce e-commerce features, this policy will be updated accordingly.

This policy applies to all services under the Softoto brand, including our Software Library and Blog.

What Information We Collect & How

We collect information in two ways, corresponding to how you use our site:

a) Information You Give Us Directly

📦 Software Library

• You do not need an account to download software.
• If you use our "Submit Software" page — either to request a title or to submit software you build or own — we collect the details you provide about that software (name, download or website URL, platform, category, licence type, and any description or notes) together with your contact email address.
• If you are submitting software you build or own, we also collect your developer or company name and any logo file you choose to upload.
• If you use our "Report a Broken Link" form, we collect the software name, the page URL, the platform, a description of the problem, and your email address, solely to investigate and tell you when it is fixed.
• We use this information solely to review the request or submission, publish the listing if it is accepted, and contact you about it.
• We do not store download history or associate downloads with your identity.

✍️ Blog & Editorial

• Newsletter: When you subscribe, we collect your email address and (if provided) your name. Consent is explicit and you can unsubscribe with one click.
• Comments: If you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name (or pseudonym), email address (private, not displayed), and the comment content. Your name and comment are public.
• Contact forms: When you use our general contact form, we collect your name, email, and the content of your message.

All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory; omission may prevent us from assisting you.

b) Information We Collect Automatically (Cookies & Analytics)

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to:

• Ensure the website functions properly and serves pages correctly.
• Remember your cookie consent choice.
• Protect our forms against spam and abuse.
• Understand, with your consent, how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

How We Use Your Information

We process your personal data only when we have a valid legal reason, in full transparency:

Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA): We balance our interest in running a secure, helpful, and continuously improving website against your privacy rights. You may object to any processing based on legitimate interest by contacting us.

• We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
• We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling with legal effects.
• We do not process payment information (no store yet).

Data Sharing & International Transfers

We do not sell your personal data. Period.

We share data only in these specific circumstances:

International Transfers: Some of the service providers we use may be located outside the United Kingdom. Where your data is transferred internationally, we rely on UK/EU Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure it remains protected to GDPR standards, regardless of where it is processed.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We follow the principle of storage limitation:

After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

Cookies Policy

We use a small number of cookies to make Softoto work and, with your permission, to understand how the site is used. Non-essential cookies are only set after you accept them.

⚙️ How to Manage Cookies

Beyond our own banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working correctly.

Learn how here:

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

• SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) for all data in transit.
• Regular security updates and monitoring.
• Strict access controls – only authorised personnel can access personal data, and only to perform their job functions.
• No storage of sensitive payment data (as we do not process payments).

While no system is 100% secure, we follow industry best practices and promptly address any vulnerabilities.

Children's Privacy

Softoto is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us immediately, and we will delete it.
