Privacy
Controller: LeZo, Andrin Portmann, Usserhus 8, 6023 Rothenburg, Switzerland, info@lezo.ch. We follow the Swiss Data Protection Act (FADP) and, for visitors from the EU, the GDPR.
Playing the game
Bloom Plots needs no account. Your best score, settings, the daily puzzle result and, after a purchase, the full-version unlock and the unlock code for the itch.io version (a random code, not linked to your name or payment) are saved only in your own browser (local storage). They are not sent to us. You can delete them at any time by clearing your browser data for lezo.ch. To let the game start faster and work offline, your browser may keep a copy of the game files (service worker cache). This contains no personal data and is removed when you clear your browser data.
Anonymous play count. When you start playing on lezo.ch and when a round ends, the game sends a short anonymous signal to our own server (game name, event, and whether this is a first, same-day or later visit). For this, only the date of your last game start is kept in your browser (key lezo_zuletzt_bloom-plots). We store only daily totals, no IP address, no cookie and nothing that identifies you. Totals are deleted after 24 months.
The anonymous play count also records, as daily totals only: the game language you chose (one of English, Spanish, Portuguese, French or German), a rough session length class (under 1, 1–5, 5–15 or over 15 minutes), and how many seconds passed until your first move. Nothing is linked to your name, e-mail address or IP address, and no profile is built. We use these totals only to improve the game. Totals are deleted after 24 months.
The anonymous play count also records, as daily totals only, whether the daily puzzle was finished, whether the "full version" button was clicked, and – if you arrived through a link with ?von=… – a coarse source (share link, itch.io, CrazyGames or other). The text of the address is never stored. The "Share result" button only opens your device's share function or copies text to your clipboard; nothing is sent to us.
Error reports. If the game hits a technical error in your browser, it sends a short anonymous error note to our own server (at most 3 per visit): a shortened error message with no web addresses or email addresses, the name of the game file and line number where it happened, and your browser family (for example Chrome, Safari or Firefox). We do not store your IP address, set no cookie and store nothing that identifies you or links the note to other data. We use it only to find and fix bugs, for example on certain phones, and delete these notes after 30 days.
Where you came from. If you open the game through a link with ?von=… (for example a shared link, itch.io or CrazyGames), we map it to one of a few fixed labels (share link, itch.io, CrazyGames or other). The text of the address is never stored. While the tab stays open, this label is kept in your browser's session storage (key lezo_von_bloom-plots) and added to the "full version" and tip links, so that we can count as daily totals which source led to a purchase. The label contains no personal data, is not linked to your name, e-mail address or IP address, and disappears when you close the tab. We do not use it to build profiles.
There are no ads, no tracking tools and no third-party scripts on this page.
Server logs
When you load a page, our server briefly processes technical data (IP address, time, page, browser type) to deliver the page and keep it secure, and counts visits and clicks on "buy" links without personal profiles. We do not store IP addresses in our own logs. Error reports from the game are deleted after 30 days; anonymous play counts are kept up to 24 months. Our network provider (Cloudflare) may process technical logs under its own policy.
Playing on other portals. If you play on a portal such as itch.io or CrazyGames, that portal is responsible for its own data processing (see its privacy policy). The game itself only adds the anonymous signals described above, plus the label itch.io or CrazyGames for the source.
Buying the full version
Payment is processed by Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., Ireland). Stripe receives the data you enter at checkout; see the Stripe privacy policy. We receive your e-mail address and the order details to send the order confirmation and to help with questions. We keep order data as long as Swiss accounting law requires (10 years). Stripe and itch.io may process data outside Switzerland and the EU, including in the USA, under their own safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses).
The personal access link for the full version sets a technical cookie (lezo_kit) only for that page, so you do not need to open the link each time. It contains no personal data.
Voluntary support (itch.io)
The game also counts finished rounds in your browser (local storage, key support_rounds) to decide when to show a gentle, optional support hint; this number never leaves your device. If you leave a tip on lezo.ch, payment works as described above (Stripe, we receive your e-mail address and the amount). If you support the game voluntarily on itch.io, that payment is handled by itch.io under its own terms and privacy policy; we only see totals and any details itch.io passes on to us.
Children
Bloom Plots is suitable for all ages and collects no personal data from players. Under 18? Please ask a parent or guardian before buying.
