Plain Desk

Privacy policy

A clear account of what Plain Desk collects, why we use it, and the choices you have. Last updated 9 August 2026.

The short version

We collect what we need to run Plain Desk—not to build an advertising profile.

We use account, workspace, and technical information to provide and protect the service. Plain Desk is currently free, so we do not ask for card or payment details to open an account.

  • No sale of personal data
  • No payment details required
  • Access and deletion requests welcomed
