Privacy

This is a personal site. I collect as little as I can get away with, and I would rather write this in plain English than in the language of a cookie banner.

Last updated 2 August 2026

The short version

  • The tools collect nothing. Everything you type into them stays in your browser. No account, no upload, no copy kept.
  • There are no tracking cookies, and no advertising or third-party trackers of any kind.
  • Analytics are anonymous and aggregate. I can see that forty people from India read a page. I cannot see who they were.
  • The chatbot keeps transcripts, so I can see what people ask and improve it. Those are deleted after twelve months.

The tools

Everything at /tools runs entirely in your browser. Your capex, rates, payroll, cash position and every other figure are processed on your own device and never sent to me or to anyone else. The PDF is generated on your machine too.

I do record anonymous counts of how often a tool is opened, completed and downloaded. Those events carry the name of the tool and nothing else. No values from any field are ever included.

Analytics

I use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights. They are cookieless: no cookie is set, no identifier is stored on your device, and visits are not linked together into a profile of you. What I get is aggregate counts, country, referring site, device type and browser.

Because none of it identifies you, there is nothing to consent to and no banner to click. That is deliberate.

The chatbot

If you talk to the assistant on the home page, the conversation is stored so I can see what people ask and make it less useless. Please do not type anything into it you would not want me to read.

Messages are sent to Anthropic to generate a reply, under their commercial terms. Alongside each conversation I store a salted hash of your IP address rather than the address itself. It exists only to stop one person flooding the endpoint, and it cannot be reversed into an address.

Transcripts are deleted after twelve months, automatically.

Email, if you send one

If you use a form to get in touch or claim something, I keep your name and email so I can reply. It is used for that and nothing else. I do not have a mailing list, and I will not add you to one.

Who else sees any of this

  • Vercel hosts the site and provides the analytics.
  • Supabase hosts the database.
  • Anthropic generates the chatbot replies.
  • Resend delivers email.

Nobody buys data from me, because I do not sell it, and there is not much to sell.

How long things are kept

  • Chat transcripts and their hashed IP: twelve months, then deleted automatically.
  • Rate-limit counters: twenty-four hours.
  • Analytics: aggregate only, retained by Vercel and never tied to an individual.
  • Anything you email me: until you ask me to delete it.
  • Tool inputs: not applicable, they were never sent.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or EU you have the right to ask what I hold about you, to have it corrected, and to have it deleted. Email hello@eshloks.com and I will action it.

Realistically, unless you have talked to the chatbot or emailed me, I hold nothing about you at all.

Changes

If this changes materially I will update the date at the top rather than quietly editing it. If you want to know what this site does, the source is the honest answer, and the repository is public.
