Sotto Collective ("Sotto," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or submit an application, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information you give us. When you complete our application form, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, contact information, links to your social or audience platforms, and the responses you write describing your work and goals.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may automatically receive technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate the site, gathered through cookies and analytics tools.
We use the information to review and respond to your application, communicate with you about a potential partnership, operate and improve the website, maintain its security, and meet any legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
We may use cookies and third-party analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.
We share personal information only as needed: with trusted service providers who help us operate the site and process applications (for example, our hosting and form providers); when required by law or to protect our rights; and in connection with a future business transfer. Any service providers are expected to safeguard your information.
We keep application and contact information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. If you are a Virginia resident, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) gives you the right to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and to access it, to correct inaccuracies, to request deletion, to obtain a copy of the data you provided, and to opt out of processing for targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, or certain profiling — as well as the right to appeal if we decline a request. Residents of the EEA/UK (under the GDPR) have comparable rights, including the right to know what we collect and to request deletion. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
This site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If we learn we have, we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent version, and continued use of the site means you accept the changes.
