Security at Plain Desk

A practical, layered approach to protecting your workspace, your content, and your account—from sign-in to deletion.

Security by design

Your work stays yours.

Plain Desk limits data collection, protects access at the account boundary, and builds secure defaults into everyday workflows. Security questions are answered by a real person, not hidden behind a sales process.

Account protection

Controls that help keep the right people in—and everyone else out.

🔐

Protected sign-in

Passwords are stored using Django's established password-hashing framework rather than readable text. Authenticated sessions use secure, server-managed controls.

  • Password hashing
  • Session protection
  • Account recovery checks
🛡️

Abuse safeguards

Login and sensitive account activity can be reviewed for unusual behaviour so suspicious access can be investigated.

  • Security event records
  • Administrative review
  • Access revocation
👥

Workspace boundaries

Workspace-aware permissions keep projects and knowledge organised around the people who are meant to access them.

  • Authenticated access
  • Role-aware actions
  • Member management

Data safeguards

Sensible controls across the lifecycle of the information you entrust to Plain Desk.

🔒

Encrypted in transit

Connections are protected with HTTPS in production so information is encrypted while moving between your browser and Plain Desk.

  • HTTPS transport
  • Secure browser connection
  • Production security settings

Purpose-limited access

Application access is limited to what is needed to operate, support, and secure the service. We do not sell personal information.

  • Least-data approach
  • Operational access only
  • No sale of personal data
🧹

Deletion and retention

You can request account or personal-data deletion. Necessary operational records may be retained where required for security, legal, or continuity purposes.

  • Deletion requests
  • Operational retention
  • Request confirmation

Security should be easy to understand
