Privacy & refunds
Last updated 10 July 2026
Sotto is local-first, but not no-egress: there is no Sotto server for your interview traffic, while selected answer context can go directly from your Mac to Anthropic under your credential.
What Sotto (the app) collects
Sotto the vendor does not receive your interview traffic. There is no Sotto server, no Sotto account, and no telemetry pipeline for interview content.
Raw audio, raw screen capture, and local speech-to-text stay on your Mac. There is no Sotto backend storing that material, no analytics SDK, and no crash reporter sending interview content back to me.
Your Claude token, API key, and the request that leaves
Sotto runs on your own Anthropic credential — your Claude subscription token, or an Anthropic API key if you prefer. Sotto stores that credential locally on your Mac in the app's user data and uses it only for direct Anthropic calls; it never passes through a server of mine.
When Sotto asks for help, it sends selected answer context directly to Anthropic's API (api.anthropic.com) under your credential: OCR text, recent interviewer transcript context, prior plan context, answer context, and sometimes a selected screenshot. Raw audio and local speech-to-text stay on your Mac. The request does not route through any server of mine, because none exists.
What Anthropic does with that request is governed by Anthropic's own privacy policy. The only other network activity from the app is a one-time download of the open-source Whisper speech model on first launch.
What Gumroad and this website process
Gumroad handles checkout, receipts, and refunds for the sale itself, so purchase and refund information is processed under Gumroad's systems and terms. This landing page is a static site; if privacy-friendly, cookieless visitor analytics are enabled by the host (Vercel), they record aggregate page views without tracking you across sites or building a profile.
No advertising trackers, no third-party cookies.
Refunds
Sotto comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it is not useful, email within 14 days of purchase and you'll get a full refund — no interrogation. Refunds are handled through the checkout provider (Gumroad), whose own terms also apply to the transaction.
