Plaquewell Estates

Privacy Policy

Effective November 13, 2026 · Applies to this informational website and Plaquewell Estates beta software.

Our approach: The website is informational. The desktop application is designed to keep Estate records under each user’s control. Optional cloud synchronization is initiated and authorized by users.

Information you choose to store

The Plaquewell Estates desktop application can organize personal and family information, photographs, documents, activity records, and other Estate content. Such information is ordinarily stored in the location selected or managed by the desktop application on your computer. Do not include content you are not authorized to use or share.

Google Drive synchronization

If you choose to connect Google Drive, Google's sign-in and consent experience handles your Google account authorization. Plaquewell Estates requests the limited drive.file permission, intended for the Google Drive files the application creates or you select for it to use. Google Drive synchronization can transmit encrypted Estate packages or other application-managed synchronization materials to Google Drive according to the options you select.

Google independently processes data associated with its account and Drive services under Google's policies. You can revoke the app's Google access through your Google Account settings. Revoking access may stop synchronization until you reconnect.

Website and correspondence

This public site does not provide an account sign-in, analytics dashboard, or an online Estate database. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send and use it to respond to your inquiry. Basic website delivery and security logs may be handled by our hosting provider.

Security and backups

Protect your computer, account credentials, encryption passphrases, and backups. No software or transfer method is entirely risk-free. Use the application's backup and recovery options and review what is selected for synchronization.

Sharing and control

Users should review and approve any synchronization or sharing action and respect the privacy and ownership of other contributors' information. Beta features may have limitations; review the application documentation before using sensitive information.

Questions or requests

Contact pat.lippiello@gmail.com about privacy questions or information you have sent directly by email. For records kept on your computer or in your Google Drive, use those systems' controls and the application's available features.

This policy should be checked against the final released software and hosting configuration before public launch.
