SottoPrivacy Policy
In short: Sotto collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no third-party code. Your scripts stay on your device, and the microphone is never recorded. The only thing this website keeps is the email you give the waitlist, if you join it.
What we collect
Nothing. Sotto doesn't send us, or anyone else, your scripts, your settings, your voice, your device details or any usage data. We have no servers that Sotto talks to.
Your scripts
Scripts you write or import are saved only on your device, inside Sotto's own storage. They are never uploaded. If you delete Sotto, its scripts are deleted too. You can keep a copy at any time with Share.
Importing and exporting
Files you import or save go through your device's own file picker, to and from wherever you choose, such as iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox. If you import from a link, Sotto downloads that document directly from the site that hosts it, such as Google Docs, the way a browser would. That request goes from your device to that site, which sees it like any other visit; nothing passes through us. Sotto makes no other internet connections.
Microphone
If you turn on Pace with my voice, Sotto uses the microphone to measure how loud it is around you, so it can scroll while you speak and wait when you stop. The sound is processed on your device as it arrives and then discarded. It is never recorded, stored, transcribed or sent anywhere. You can turn voice pacing off, or revoke microphone access in your device's settings, at any time.
Local network (iPhone remote)
The optional iPhone remote connects your iPhone directly to Sotto on your Mac over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth using Apple's peer-to-peer networking. The connection is encrypted, needs a 4-digit pairing code shown on your Mac, and doesn't pass through any server. Only playback commands and the scripts you choose to send travel between your own devices.
Purchases
Sotto is sold through Apple. Apple processes your payment under its own privacy policy, and we don't receive your payment details or identity.
Children
Sotto collects no data from anyone, including children under 13.
This website
This site uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party fonts or scripts. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for security, which we don't use to identify you.
The waitlist. If you join the waitlist, we keep the email address you enter and the device you picked (Mac, iPhone or both), with the date you joined. We use it only to email you when Sotto launches. We don't share or sell it, and we don't add it to any other list. It's stored with our database provider, Supabase. To have it deleted, ask through the Support page.
The voice pacing demo. The "Try it" demo on the home page measures your microphone's loudness inside your browser, only after you turn it on. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere, including the script you type into it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
