What happens to your data

Before we touch a login, we sign a written data-handling agreement with you.

  • What access we take: only what the job needs, at the lowest level that does it.
  • How it's listed: every login we hold goes on a written register. You get a copy at the start, at every change, and whenever you ask.
  • How you revoke it: remove any of our access at any time, for any reason.

Questions about the money

Why a setup fee?

The first stretch is the heavy lift: the on-site Walkthrough, the first build, and the documentation. The setup fee covers that so the monthly fee can stay low.

What's the minimum term?

Three months for Plainwork Care, six months for Plainwork CTO. After that, it's month to month with 30 days' notice. The minimum exists because the setup work is wasted if you leave in week three.

Is the Walkthrough credited?

Yes. If you book the Walkthrough on its own and sign up for Care or CTO within 30 days, the $900 is credited toward setup.

What about software costs?

Any subscriptions we set up, like an automation tool or a form service, are passed through at cost. They're in your name wherever possible, so you keep them if we part ways. We don't mark them up, and we don't take a cut from vendors.

What if I need more than the monthly hours?

Plainwork Care includes up to three hours of changes a month. If something needs more, we'll tell you before we start and quote it.

What if I want to stop?

After the minimum term, give 30 days' notice. Everything we built stays yours, with documentation, so the next person can pick it up. We remove our access and send you the final list showing it's done. No exit fee.

Let's walk through your business.

One day on-site. A written list of everything that's costing you time, and what to fix first. No pitch deck, no pressure.
