Privacy Policy
PlainNotice ("PlainNotice," "we," "us," or "our") is a product of Ellis Intelligence LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Ellis Intelligence," and the data controller for purposes of this policy). PlainNotice is a trademark/brand operated by Ellis Intelligence LLC; it is not a separate legal entity.
This Privacy Policy explains what limited personal information we collect through the PlainNotice website (the "Site") during our pre-launch period, why we collect it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Table of Contents
1. The Short Version
- The Site is a pre-launch page. We do not collect any personal information through it — there is no signup form and no account creation.
- We do not sell or share your personal information. We do not use it for advertising or behavioral targeting.
- We do not set advertising or analytics cookies. Fonts and assets are self-hosted, so no third parties receive your information through the Site.
- Questions about this policy? Email [email protected].
2. Information We Collect
a. Information you give us.
The Site has no forms and no account-creation flow, so it does not collect any information you submit. If you email us directly (for example, using the contact address on the Site), we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message, which we use only to respond to you.
b. Information collected automatically (server logs).
Like most websites, the server that hosts the Site may automatically record basic technical information in standard web-server logs, which can include your IP address, browser type / user-agent string, the page requested, and the date and time of the request. This is ordinary operational logging used to run and secure the Site.
c. What we do NOT collect.
We do not knowingly collect payment information, account credentials, government identifiers, precise geolocation, or special-category/sensitive data through the pre-launch Site. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or social-media trackers.
3. Cookies and Tracking
The Site does not use advertising or analytics cookies and does not load third-party trackers. Because we self-host fonts and front-end assets, your browser does not request resources from third-party servers as a result of visiting the Site.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information described above only to:
- Respond to any email you send us;
- Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site (via server logs); and
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making with legal effects, or sale/sharing to third parties.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information only:
- to service providers strictly necessary to operate the Site — at present this is limited to our website hosting provider. This provider acts on our instructions and is not permitted to use your information for its own purposes;
- to comply with law, legal process, or lawful government requests; and
- in connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger, financing, or acquisition), subject to this policy.
6. Data Retention
The Site collects no personal information by default, so there is nothing to retain from ordinary visits. If you email us directly, we keep that correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to respond and for our records. Server logs are retained per our hosting provider's defaults.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the limited data we hold (standard server logs). No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access / know what we hold about you;
- Correction of inaccurate information;
- Deletion of your information;
- Opt out of sale/sharing and targeted advertising (note: we do none of these); and
- Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
To exercise any right, email [email protected]. We will verify your request (typically by confirming control of the email address you contact us from) and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
California (CCPA/CPRA).
California residents have the rights above. In the past 12 months we have collected only standard server-log identifiers (no signup or account data), used solely as described in Section 4. We have not "sold" or "shared" personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.
Colorado (Colorado Privacy Act / CPA).
Colorado residents have rights of access, correction, deletion, data portability, and to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling (we conduct none of these). You may appeal a declined request by replying to our response; if you have concerns you may contact the Colorado Attorney General.
EU/EEA/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR).
If and to the extent the GDPR applies, our legal basis is our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site (server logs). You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
9. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, take additional steps as required by law. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
