Nothing is stored until you ask for a link

While you are typing, the cap table lives in the page and in the form you submit. The calculator is a pure function: it takes what you typed and gives back an answer. There is no database row until you press Get a link, and if you never do, nothing about your company is ever written down here.

What a link is

The address of a shared table is the fingerprint of its contents — a hash. That has three consequences worth knowing. Sharing the same table twice gives you the same link. Changing anything gives you a different one, so editing somebody's table never alters theirs. And nothing about who created it is recorded, because nothing about you goes into the hash.

A link is the only key. It is long enough that it cannot be guessed, but anyone you send it to can open the table — treat it the way you would treat the document itself.

Links expire

Ninety days after a link was last opened, the table is deleted. A link people use stays alive; a link nobody opens goes away. This service should not become a permanent archive of other people's financial positions.

No account, no tracking

There is no sign-up, no cookie for identifying you, no analytics and no third-party script. The server keeps ordinary web logs, and it counts requests per address for a few minutes at a time so that one client cannot flood it.

The company register

The "find a Norwegian company" box asks areg.no — open data from Enhetsregisteret, aksjonærregisteret and Regnskapsregisteret. That request is made by this server, not by your browser, so you are not exposed to a third party by using it. The shareholder register is an annual snapshot: what it shows may be a year or two out of date, which is why it is offered as something to edit rather than as fact.
