We formulate a new variant of the private information retrieval (PIR) problem where the user is pliable, i.e., interested in any message from a desired subset of the available dataset, denoted as pliable private information retrieval (PPIR). We consider a setup where a dataset consisting of $f$ messages is replicated in $n$ noncolluding databases and classified into $Γ$ classes. For this setup, the user wishes to retrieve any $λ\geq 1$ messages from multiple desired classes, i.e., $η\geq 1$, while revealing no information about the identity of the desired classes to the databases. We term this problem multi-message PPIR (M-PPIR) and introduce the single-message PPIR (PPIR) problem as an elementary special case of M-PPIR. We first derive converse bounds on the M-PPIR rate, which is defined as the ratio of the desired amount of information and the total amount of downloaded information, followed by the corresponding achievable schemes. As a result, we show that the PPIR capacity, i.e., the maximum achievable PPIR rate, for $n$ noncolluding databases matches the capacity of PIR with $n$ databases and $Γ$ messages. Thus, enabling flexibility, i.e., pliability, where privacy is only guaranteed for classes, but not for messages as in classical PIR, allows to trade-off privacy versus download rate. A similar insight is shown to hold for the general case of M-PPIR.
