NTCL Soft’s Privacy Policy 

This privacy policy is part of the AUTODESK DESIGN AND MAKE MARKETPLACE (Formerly AUTODESK APP STORE) – END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

1.Data collected by NTCL Soft

1.1 Data collected via Autodesk App Store

All data collected by the AUTODESK DESIGN AND MAKE MARKETPLACE (Formerly AUTODESK APP STORE) (Email, Full Name, Job Title, Company Name, Country, and payment information) during app downloading remains confidential and is used only for statistical purposes or for communication with users.
This data may also be used to inform users about new applications or promotions.

The NTCL Soft website may use analytics tools to collect anonymized usage data for site improvement purposes only. No personally identifiable information is collected.

1.2 Additional data for paid apps

For paid apps, NTCL Soft may collect additional data for building offline licenses:

• Computer ID: a unique encoded string derived from the serial numbers of certain computer hardware components. It is used for computer-based licenses.

• Serial number: a random string created by the app. It is used to identify which app is installed.

• Domain name: the computer DNS domain. This is used for bulk licenses based on a network domain. For individual licenses, the domain name is not required and is not collected by default.

• Customer email: used to return the license file to the customer.

1.3 How additional data is collected

• Any additional data collection is explicitly shown and acknowledged by the user.

• When the customer opens the About… dialog in the app, he or she can click the Copy Info button.
  By clicking Copy Info, the information described in section 1.2 is copied to the clipboard. The customer then manually sends this information to NTCL Soft.

1.4 Data Collection Scope by Distribution Channel & Product Type

• Autodesk Design and Make Marketplace (Zero Content Data Collection): All applications, add-ins, and utilities published officially on the Autodesk Design and Make Marketplace (regardless of whether they are Free, Trial, or Paid versions) DO NOT collect, store, or transmit any user work data, drawing content, text strings, or project files. Data collected via Autodesk App Store products is strictly limited to basic licensing/activation parameters (as detailed in Section 1.2) sent manually by the user.

• Direct Website / Independent Releases (Translation Tools Trial Only): For specific translation software (such as NTrans) downloaded directly from our website (ntclsoft.com) or distributed outside the Autodesk Design and Make Marketplace under a Trial License:

  • What is Collected: When the data sharing option is enabled, the software automatically transmits translation data consisting of raw source text segments, translated text segments (Translation Memory), and user-defined or newly confirmed terminology pairs (Termbase / Glossaries) to our secure cloud storage via encrypted protocols (HTTPS/TLS).

  • User Control (Opt-Out Option): Users can manually enable or disable the "Share for translation improvement" setting within the application's options menu at any time.

  • Feature Limitations when Disabled: Disabling this option will stop all data transmission to our servers. However, to balance the free trial usage terms, turning off data sharing may restrict access to certain advanced trial features or limit translation processing capabilities.

  • System-Level Data Exclusions: The automated collection process strictly excludes drawing file paths, local directory structures, DWG file names, CAD entity handles, and hardware/project metadata.

  • PII & Sensitive Content Disclaimer: The software does not include an automated server-side PII (Personally Identifiable Information) removal tool. Text segments are transmitted as processed within the application. Users are responsible for utilizing the built-in local Hide Personal identifiable information (PII) feature to mask or exclude sensitive personal names, proprietary terminology, or confidential data prior to translation.

  • User Acknowledgment: By using the Trial version of translation software, you acknowledge that text segments submitted for translation may be included in our aggregated Translation Memory dataset to improve translation models. If your work involves strict confidentiality or unmasked PII, you must purchase a Commercial Paid License, which operates with zero automated content data collection.

2.Data sharing with third parties

• Zero Personal Data Sharing: NTCL Soft does not sell, rent, or share personal identification information (such as your name, email, or payment details) with any third parties.

• Aggregated Terminology and Translation Reuse: By enabling data sharing in Trial/Free versions, you acknowledge that anonymized text segments, Translation Memory, and customized terminology pairs (Termbase) submitted through the application may be reviewed, edited, aggregated, and compiled by NTCL Soft.

• Incorporation into Public Glossaries: Compiled Termbase data and glossaries may be incorporated into future software updates, built-in system dictionaries, or shared translation resources accessible to other users of NTCL Soft's translation applications. All shared or republished glossaries are strictly anonymized and detached from any original user or project identity.
