Privacy

Last updated October 10, 2026.

The Filing Desk (thefilingdesk.net) is edited by Jon Mc Gowan. This page explains what happens to information about you when you visit. Questions about it go to [email protected].

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. The site has no accounts, sign-up forms or comments, and we set no cookies. The company search and the valuation tools run in your browser; what you type in them never leaves your device.

Visitor statistics

We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, to see which pages people read. It sets no cookies and doesn't follow you across sites: it records the page you visit, the page that sent you, your browser, device type and country, and how fast the page loaded, and shows us only totals. See Cloudflare's privacy policy. To keep your own visits out of the count, open thefilingdesk.net/?notrack once in each browser; /?track undoes it.

Hosting

The site is served by GitHub Pages. Like any web server, GitHub receives your IP address and browser details when you load a page, and may keep them in its logs for security. See GitHub's privacy statement. Our fonts and scripts are served from this site, except Google's ad script and Cloudflare's visitor count.

Advertising

We show ads from Google AdSense to pay for the site. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technology to show ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, and, if you agree, to choose ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, a consent message asks for your choice before cookies are used for personalised ads. You can change your choice at any time from the link the message leaves at the bottom of the page.
• You can turn off personalised ads from Google in its ad settings, and from many other ad companies at aboutads.info.
• Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services.

Links to other sites

Reports and stories link to their sources, such as the SEC and news organizations. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Your rights

Because we hold no personal data about visitors, requests about advertising data are best made to Google, using the links above. You can write to us with any question, and you have the right to complain to a data protection authority.
