Plicine Join the closed beta

Privacy

Privacy notice

The Plicine app sends us nothing, and this site sets no cookies and has no analytics. We hold personal information in two cases: you asked to join the closed beta, or you wrote to us. This page says what we keep, why, and for how long.

Last changed on 21 September 2026.

Who we are

Plicine is made by Solunify Creations Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with company number 14792403. Our registered office is The Accountancy Partnership, 70 Grange Road East, Wirral, CH41 5FE, United Kingdom. We’re on the Information Commissioner’s Office register of fee payers under reference ZB649026.

We decide what is done with the information on this page, which in the words of UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) makes us its controller. For anything to do with your information, write to hello@plicine.com.

If you ask to join the closed beta

The button on the front page opens a Google Form. It asks for:

  • your email address, so we can answer you and send you the installer;
  • whether you’d keep your own documents in Plicine, make blocks and themes for it, or both, because we want about half of each;
  • whether you’re on macOS or Windows, because each has its own installer;
  • if you want to tell us: a name to call you, where you keep your files, and what you’d use Plicine for.

We use the answers to choose ten to twenty testers and to run the beta with them: installers, release notes and one question a week by email. A person reads every answer and nothing is decided automatically. We don’t sell the answers, pass them to anyone else or use them for advertising.

The law asks us to name our reason for holding them. It’s your consent, which you give by ticking the box at the end of the form. You can withdraw it whenever you like, by replying to any email from us or writing to hello@plicine.com, and we’ll delete your answers and stop writing to you. You don’t have to fill the form in at all, but without an email address we’ve no way to invite you.

The form has a second, separate box: tell me when Plicine is released to everyone. Tick it and we keep your email address for that one message. Leave it empty and it makes no difference to the beta.

If something you tell us during the beta is worth quoting, we’ll ask you first, and the quote won’t carry your name.

Where the answers are kept

In our Google Workspace account, where only the people running the beta can open them. Google stores them for us and on our instructions, under its Cloud Data Processing Addendum (data protection law calls that a processor). Google’s servers are in several countries. Where the answers leave the UK they are covered by the UK’s adequacy rules, which include the EU and, for companies certified under the UK-US data bridge as Google is, the United States, or else by the standard contractual clauses in that addendum.

The form itself is a page on Google’s site, so while you’re filling it in, Google’s cookies and Google’s privacy policy apply to your visit there. You don’t need a Google account.

If you write to us

An email to hello@plicine.com or beta@plicine.com gives us your address and whatever you wrote. We use it to answer you and to keep track of the conversation, which is our legitimate interest in running the company. Our mailboxes are kept by our email provider and by Google, which store mail for us on our instructions.

If you only visit this site

plicine.com sets no cookies, has no analytics and loads nothing from other companies: the fonts and pictures come from the same place as the page. Google serves the site for us and on our instructions, through its Firebase Hosting service. It sees the IP address each request comes from, uses it to spot abuse and to count traffic, and keeps it for a few months. That keeps the site secure and running, which is a legitimate interest of ours, and we don’t use it to work out who a visitor is. Google’s servers are in several countries, and the same rules cover an address that leaves the UK as cover the beta answers above.

The app

Plicine has no account to sign in to, and it doesn’t report usage, errors or anything else to us. Your documents stay in the folder you chose. If that folder is in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or iCloud, your agreement with that company covers them. The same goes for an AI agent you run from inside Plicine: it’s your agent, under your account with whoever makes it, and nothing passes through us.

How long we keep things

WhatKept until
Your answers to the beta form, and emails about the betaThree months after the beta closes, or sooner if you ask
Your email address, if you asked to hear about the releaseThat message has gone out, and two years at most
Other emailsTwo years after the last message in the conversation
The IP address of a visit, which Google holdsA few months, on Google’s own schedule

The one exception is anything the law makes us keep for longer, such as an invoice.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to stop using it or to use it less, and ask for the answers you gave us in a file you can take elsewhere. Where we rely on your consent you can withdraw it. Write to hello@plicine.com. It costs nothing and we’ll answer within a month.

If you think we’ve handled your information badly, tell us and we’ll put it right if we can. We’ll acknowledge a complaint within 30 days. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113, and if you live in the EU, to the data protection authority in your own country.
