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
Seed Wars needs no account. Your wins, best result, daily streak, sound setting, your chosen board, whether you have seen the first-game hint and, after a purchase, the full-version unlock are saved only in your own browser (local storage, keys starting with lezo_seedwars). A few counters for the full-version notice (how often it was shown or closed) stay there too. They are not sent to us. You can delete them at any time by clearing your browser data for lezo.ch.
Anonymous play count. When you start a game and when a game ends, the page 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_seed-wars). We store only daily totals, no IP address, no cookie and nothing that identifies you. Totals are deleted after 24 months. If a technical error occurs in the game, a short error note (shortened message, file name, line number, browser family) is counted the same way. Error notes are deleted after 30 days.
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.
In multiplayer mode we count, as daily totals, how many rooms were created, joined and rounds finished. We do not store room codes, player names, chat content or IP addresses.
Where you came from. If you open the game through a link with ?von=…, we map it to one of a few fixed labels. The text of the address is never stored. The label contains no personal data and is not used to build profiles. While the tab stays open, this label is kept in your browser's session storage (key lezo_von_seed-wars) so that we can count, as daily totals, which source led to a visit. It disappears when you close the tab. The same label is added to the "full version" and tip links so that we can count, as daily totals, which source led to a purchase or tip.
Share link. The "Share link" button only opens your device's share function or copies a link to your clipboard. The link contains the date, your field count and your moves on the daily board, nothing about you. Nothing is sent to us when you share.
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, 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 may process data outside Switzerland and the EU, including in the USA, under its own safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses). The anonymous play count also records, as daily totals only, whether the "full version" button was clicked.
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
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 voluntary tip on lezo.ch, payment works as described above (Stripe; we receive your e-mail address and the amount). A tip unlocks nothing.
Children
Seed Wars is suitable for all ages and collects no personal data from players. Under 18? Please ask a parent or guardian before buying.
Your rights
You can ask for information, correction or deletion of your data at info@lezo.ch. You may also complain to the data protection authority.
