Privacy policy.
This policy explains what information we collect when you use this website and the Send a Scout tool, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep this deliberately short, because the site is built to collect as little as possible.
The short version
We do not set tracking cookies, so there is no consent banner. We do not sell your personal information. The only personal data the site itself asks for is a website address you want checked, and an email address if you choose to have the report sent to you. We sell software, not data about the people who visit.
Who we are
This site is operated by Hesk Consulting Pty Ltd, based in New South Wales, Australia. For any question about your privacy or this policy, contact us at hello@hesk.com.au.
What we collect and why
Send a Scout submissions. When you use Send a Scout, we collect the website address you submit so we can run the audit you asked for. If you ask to have the report emailed to you, we also collect that email address so we can send it. You do not need an account, and we do not ask for anything else.
Technical and security data. To keep the free tool from being abused, we process your IP address and a bot-protection token when you submit a request. This is used to apply rate limits and to tell real people from automated traffic. Our hosting provider also records standard request information, such as IP address, browser type and the time of the request, to deliver the site and protect it from attacks.
Analytics. If we measure how the site is used, we use a privacy-first, cookieless analytics service that reports visits in aggregate. It does not use cookies, does not build a profile of you, and does not track you across other websites.
Cookies. The site does not set advertising or tracking cookies. That is why you see no cookie banner.
How your information is shared
We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small number of service providers to run the site, and they process data only on our instructions:
- Cloudflare provides hosting, content delivery and the bot protection on the Send a Scout form.
- Supabase runs the audit service that produces your report from the website address you submit.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, users and the security of the service.
Where your data is processed
Our providers may store and process data on servers located in other countries. Where that happens, we rely on those providers to protect your information to a standard consistent with this policy and applicable law.
How long we keep it
- Audit reports are cached for about 24 hours per website address, then refreshed on the next request.
- If you gave us an email address for a report, we keep it until you ask us to remove it.
- Security and server logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and protect the service.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. You can ask us to stop emailing you at any time. To make any of these requests, contact us at hello@hesk.com.au. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may have the right to complain to the privacy regulator in your country.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, including using reputable providers and limiting what we collect in the first place. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site and the Send a Scout tool are intended for businesses and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be made clear on the site.
