At SoftPC.org, we believe that your digital privacy is as important as the software you download. This policy outlines our minimalist approach to data collection and our commitment to maintaining a secure environment for our global community of users.

1. Internal Analytics & Anonymous Browsing

To ensure maximum user confidentiality, SoftPC.org does not utilize invasive external tracking or third-party analytics services. Your activity on our platform remains strictly between you and our server (and your respective Internet Service Provider). We prioritize your anonymity while you browse our library of full-version software and PC games.

2. Streamlined User Registration

We advocate for “Privacy by Default.” When signing up for an account on SoftPC.org:

• Minimal Requirements: We only require a unique username and password to create an account.

• Optional Email Integration: You may choose to provide an email address solely for the purpose of password recovery or to receive critical platform updates (typically limited to one per year).

• No Data Harvesting: We never sell, lease, or share your registration details with third parties.

3. Data Collection & Technical Logs

Our systems collect only the essential technical data required to deliver a stable downloading experience:

• IP Masking: We log only the first three octets of your IP address to maintain regional statistics without identifying individual users.

• Browser Metadata: We record browser types and device configurations to optimize our ISO setups and installer compatibility for your specific hardware.

• Cookies: We utilize functional cookies to remember your interface preferences and login sessions.

4. Advertising & Common ID Cookies

To support our free software repository, SoftPC.org partners with advertising networks.

• Common ID Cookie: Our site may utilize a “Common ID” cookie. This first-party domain cookie stores a unique user ID that helps our advertising partners deliver relevant content, particularly for users on iOS and MacOS devices.

• User Control: You retain the absolute right to opt-out of Common ID tracking through your browser settings or via our ad-choice portals.

5. International Regulatory Compliance (EU & Global)

For Users in the European Union (GDPR): When accessing SoftPC.org, specific verified advertising partners may access information on your device to serve personalized content or tailored advertisements. You have the right to review, modify, or withdraw your consent at any time through our on-site privacy settings. We strive to meet global data protection standards for all users, regardless of geographic location.

6. Transparency & Policy Evolution

The digital landscape is constantly changing. SoftPC.org reserves the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy to reflect new security protocols or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be published immediately on this page. We encourage our users to visit this section periodically to stay informed about our data protection practices.

Thank you for trusting SoftPC.org as your secure gateway to premium software and digital tools.
