Short version: this site runs its own page-view counter instead of third-party analytics, stores an email address only when you type one in, uses Etsy for most sales and Stripe for card payments, and loads one third-party script, the Pinterest Tag. Nothing here is sold or shared for advertising.

getprepsheet.com is run by an individual based in the UK. For anything about your data, use the contact page.
Each page load records the page path, the date, a shortened one-way hash of your IP address mixed with a secret value, and your browser's user-agent string. The hash cannot be turned back into your address and is only used to count distinct daily visitors; the detailed log keeps just the most recent few hundred page loads before older entries are deleted. The counter also keeps the campaign tags (utm parameters) of the link you arrived by, if there were any, and a random session token held in your browser's session storage, which the browser discards when the tab closes.
If you put your email address into a form on this site, the address is stored with the time, the page or campaign it came from and the IP address the form was sent from, and it is used to send you what the form offered. The IP address is kept only as a record of where the sign-up came from. You can ask to be removed at any time by emailing pacman@ascentterminal.com or through the contact page.
Most sales go through Etsy under Etsy's privacy policy; this site never sees your payment details. Where a direct card checkout is offered it is run by Stripe: card details go to Stripe, not to this server. This site keeps an order record with your email address, the product, the amount, the country reported by Stripe and the campaign tags of the visit, so that a download can be re-sent and the accounts can be kept.
Pages load the Pinterest Tag, a script from Pinterest, so that Pinterest can measure whether its pins send visitors here. Pinterest may set its own cookies and processes that data under Pinterest's privacy policy. Blocking third-party scripts in your browser stops it, and the site works without it.
The site sets no cookies for visitors. The only cookie it can set at all is a flag the owner uses to exclude their own visits from the counter.
The calculators and the recipe tool run in your browser; the recipes you save stay in your browser's own storage and are never sent to this server. The free templates are direct downloads with no email gate.
Etsy (shop and checkout), Stripe (direct card payments), Pinterest (the tag above) and the hosting provider the server runs on. Nobody else, and nothing is sold, rented or shared for advertising.
Daily visitor hashes are per day and useless afterwards. Email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for removal. Order records are kept for as long as the accounts need them.
Under UK GDPR you can ask what is held about you, have it corrected or deleted, or object to it being used. Ask by email at pacman@ascentterminal.com or through the contact page: there is one person reading it, so expect a reply from a human rather than a form. You can also complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
