Privacy policy
Effective and last updated November 15, 2026
Plain-English summary: the quiz and calculator run in your browser, and we never receive your answers. We run no analytics and set no cookies. If you join the early-access list, we keep your email address. Cloudflare hosts the site.
Who we are
LedgerQuiz is run by Quietlathe LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company, 2800 E. Enterprise Ave Ste 333, Appleton, WI 54913. Contact: ops@quietlathe.com. For the data described here, Quietlathe LLC is the controller (the business that decides how it is used).
What we collect and why
- Site visits (Cloudflare). The site is hosted on Cloudflare (Pages and Functions). To serve and protect the site, Cloudflare processes request data such as your IP address, browser user agent and the page requested. We use this to deliver pages and keep the site secure.
- Quiz answers and calculator inputs. These are processed only in your browser. They are not sent to our servers, to an AI provider or to anyone else, and the site does not store them in cookies or localStorage. They are gone when you close or reload the page.
- Vendor link clicks. Vendor links go through a redirect on our domain (
/go/) that sends you on to the vendor's site. The request carries the name of the page you came from and, from the quiz, a short code describing your answers (for example country, payroll yes or no, budget band). It contains no name, email address or phone number. The redirect does not store this code; it appears in Cloudflare's standard request handling. Referral links are not live yet. When they are, the code may be passed to the referral program as a campaign tag so we can see which pages lead to sign-ups. - Early-access list. If you submit the early-access form, we store the product (LedgerQuiz), your email address, an optional plan label (the form on our home page uses "price-tracker"), the page path where you signed up, a timestamp, and a one-way hash of your IP address that we use only for spam rate limits. The data is stored in a Cloudflare D1 database. We send no emails today. Later we will send one email per product when the feature you asked about goes live. You can ask to be removed any time at ops@quietlathe.com. We never sell or share the list.
- Emails you send us. If you write to us, we keep the message and your address to answer you.
LedgerQuiz has no accounts and takes no payments. If that changes, we will update this page before we collect account or payment data.
Cookies and similar tools
The site sets no cookies, uses no advertising or analytics trackers, and does not use localStorage or sessionStorage. Cloudflare may use security measures in its normal operation. When you click through to a vendor, that vendor's site may set its own cookies, including to credit a referral.
Third parties
- Cloudflare hosts the site and the early-access database. Cloudflare privacy policy.
- Software vendors (QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Zoho Books, Wave): when you click a link to a vendor, you leave our site and that vendor's own privacy policy applies.
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
How long we keep data
Early-access entries stay until we have sent the launch email and for a short period after, or until you ask us to remove them, whichever comes first. Emails to us are kept as long as needed to deal with your request. Cloudflare keeps its own request logs under its own policies.
Security
We use Cloudflare's hosted infrastructure, send data over HTTPS, and keep the early-access list to what we need. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Your California rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you live in California you may ask us to: tell you what personal information we hold about you and how we use it (right to know); delete it; correct it; and not sell or share it. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of. We will not treat you differently for making a request.
To make a request, email ops@quietlathe.com from the address you gave us. We verify it by matching the request to the email address on file, and may reply to that address to confirm. An authorized agent may make a request for you with your written permission; we may ask you to confirm it with us directly. We aim to respond within 45 days.
Visitors from the EEA and UK
Quietlathe LLC (address above) is the controller. Our lawful bases: your consent when you join the early-access list (you can withdraw it any time by emailing us); our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and preventing spam (hashed IP, Cloudflare request data); and our legitimate interest in answering your emails. You may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your data, and object to processing, by emailing us. You may complain to your local data protection authority. The site is aimed at US small businesses.
International transfers
We are in the United States and our data is processed in the United States and wherever Cloudflare operates. If you visit from outside the US, your data is transferred to and processed in countries with different data-protection laws.
Children
LedgerQuiz is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. In the EEA and UK we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16 without parental consent. If you think a child gave us their email address, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes
We will post changes on this page and update the date. Last updated November 15, 2026.
