Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

We are currently in the planning phase. Right now, Epeppol is a short anonymous survey and a free beta invoice generator. The primary purpose of this page is to find out if there is demand, and to help shape our services. The full e-invoicing application is in development.

Privacy Policy & Data Statement

At Epeppol — a product of Etonator — we believe that small and medium-sized businesses deserve better than the relentless data harvesting typical of consumer apps. This policy explains exactly what little data we collect, and why we collect it.

1. The Anonymous Survey

Our primary method of gathering feedback is a 60-second survey. This survey is designed to be fully anonymous.

No Personal Data: We do not ask for your name, phone number, or personal email address in the survey.
Encrypted IP Hashing: To prevent spam and duplicate submissions, we generate a one-way, encrypted hash of your IP address. We cannot reverse this hash to see your real IP address, and it is used solely to ensure data integrity.
Referral and Regional Tracking: We may record if you arrived at this page via a specific link. We also log your country to measure international interest and identify where demand is highest, but it is never tied to your personal identity.

2. Cookies and Tracking (The Zero‑Tracking Guarantee)

We do not believe in surveillance.

No Tracking: We do not use tracking cookies, third-party analytics, or advertising pixels.
Session Storage Only: We only use your browser's local sessionStorage to remember your visual preferences (like your dark/light mode choice) while you browse. This data never leaves your device.

Security Exceptions: This site is hosted and protected by Cloudflare, which defends our infrastructure from malicious bots and DDoS attacks. As part of this, Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary security cookie (e.g., __cf_bm) to verify you are human. We do not use this for tracking or profiling. For full transparency, you can review Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

3. Direct Contact

If you wish to discuss, request survey results, or ask questions, we encourage you to reach out directly via email at q@epeppol.ie.

Emails are read and responded to manually by the founder. We do not use automated CRM systems, email marketing platforms, or auto-responders. Your email address is used solely to reply to your specific inquiry.

4. Data Retention and Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to know what data we hold about you and the right to have it deleted. Because our survey data is anonymized and hashed, we cannot identify individual survey respondents.

However, if you have contacted us directly via email, you may request the deletion of your email correspondence at any time by replying to our message or sending a request to q@epeppol.ie. We will process this request immediately.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if our technical infrastructure changes. Any changes will be posted here with an updated revision date. We will never introduce hidden tracking or sell your data.

Terms of Use

Short version: We are currently in the concept and research phase. This site provides ideas, not formal advice. Use it responsibly.

By accessing and using the Epeppol website, you agree to the following simple terms.

1. Concept Phase & No Active Services

Epeppol is currently in a research and concept-validation phase. Right now, the site offers an anonymous survey and a free beta UBL invoice generator. The offerings described on this site (including the Free E-Invoice Generator, The €9 Plan, and Top-Up Blocks) are proposed concepts, not active, purchasable services. The full e-invoicing application is in active development. Browsing this site or completing our survey does not create any contractual relationship, service agreement, or expectation of immediate delivery.

2. Informational Purposes Only

The content, frameworks, and survey questions on this website are for informational and research purposes only. While founded by an Accounting Graduate and Web Developer, nothing on this site constitutes formal, binding accounting, legal, tax, or CRO compliance advice. Always consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your unique business situation.

3. Survey Participation

Our survey is designed to be fully anonymous and voluntary.

We reserve the right to discard any submissions that are clearly spam, abusive, or generated by bots. To maintain data integrity, we use a one-way encrypted hash of your IP address solely to prevent duplicate submissions. We cannot reverse this hash to identify you.

4. No Warranties

We provide this website and its conceptual content "as is." While we strive for accuracy and high performance, we make no guarantees that the concepts described here will perfectly fit your specific business, nor do we guarantee a specific future launch.

5. Intellectual Property

Epeppol is a product of Etonator. The text, design, and concepts presented on this site are the intellectual property of Etonator. You are welcome to read and learn from them, but please do not copy our site's design, code, or proprietary text for your own commercial use.

6. Contact

If you have questions about these terms, our concepts, or the survey, you can reach us directly at q@epeppol.ie.

7. UBL Invoice Generator (Beta Tool) Disclaimer

The Free Irish UBL Invoice Generator currently available on our website is provided in a "BETA" state for informational and testing purposes only.

No Guarantee of Compliance: While we strive to generate standard-compliant UBL XML files, Epeppol does not guarantee that the generated files will be accepted by all accounting software, PEPPOL Access Points, or government bodies (such as Irish Revenue). You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of the generated invoice.
Not Accounting Advice: The use of this tool does not constitute accounting, tax, or legal advice. You remain solely responsible for ensuring your invoicing practices comply with Irish Revenue, VAT regulations, and CRO requirements.
Zero Data Transmission: To protect your privacy, this tool runs entirely client-side in your browser. No invoice data, business names, or customer details are transmitted to, processed by, or stored on our servers.
Limitation of Liability: Epeppol (a product of Etonator) shall not be held liable for any financial losses, rejected payments, or compliance penalties resulting from the use of this beta tool.
