Commitments — nothing here is live yet
What we'll do with your data, written down before we build anything.
These are commitments, not a policy for a running service. No tool on this site processes files yet. We're publishing them now so there's something concrete to hold us to later — and so nobody has to take a promise on faith after the fact.
Current status. The tools described on this site are in build. Nothing here accepts file uploads, and nothing here stores what you type. The only interactive thing on the site is the workflow form on the home page, which opens your own email app — see that section below.
The short version
Once the tools exist, this is what they will do:
When a tool goes live, how it will handle your file
- Purpose. Your file will be read for one reason: to produce the output you asked for. No secondary use.
- Retention. Removed from storage when your download completes, and in any case within 24 hours.
- Human access. Nobody reads the contents of your files unless you ask us to investigate a specific problem.
- Sub-processors. Processing will run on hosting and compute providers acting on our instructions under contract. They will not be permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
- Backups. Where infrastructure backups exist, deleted files will age out of them within 30 days.
- No account required. No signup, no waitlist, no stored profile of who uploaded what.
What we'll ask you not to upload
These tools are for customer lists, invoice data, ledgers and close task lists. Please don't upload full bank account numbers, card numbers, government identification numbers, or payroll records. If your export contains them, strip those columns first — you almost never need them for statement generation or duplicate checking.
The workflow form
This is the one part of the site that is live, and it's deliberately the least invasive thing we could build. When you submit it:
- The page composes an email in your email app, addressed to hello@beckmont.com, with your description as the body.
- It is sent by you, from your own address, through your own mail provider. It never touches a Beckmont server.
- Nothing is stored on this site. There is no database, no signup, no waitlist, and no mailing list — which is also why there's no unsubscribe link.
- What we receive is an ordinary email. It sits in an inbox like any other, and we'll delete it on request without needing a reason.
Server logs
Our hosting provider records standard request logs — IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp — for security and abuse prevention. They aren't used to build advertising profiles, and they've never been joined to uploaded file contents, because there are no uploaded file contents yet.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. At the moment that data amounts to whatever is in our inbox. Email hello@beckmont.com and we'll action it.
Children
These are business tools and aren't intended for anyone under 16.
Changes
If any of this changes in a way that affects how your files are handled, the change will be described here and dated. We won't quietly widen what we do with your data — and we won't treat this page as a draft that can be improved after launch.
How you can check
When a tool goes live, the honest test is whether these commitments are visible in how it behaves: no account to create, no files kept, no email asking you to come back. If a tool ever behaves differently from this page, the page is wrong or the tool is — either way, tell us.
