Privacy

What Bloomy stores, what it sends, and what the ads see. Back to the garden.

The short version

Bloomy runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no login and no password. Your garden is saved on your own device and never uploaded. The two things that do leave your browser are anonymous play statistics, and — only if you choose to watch one — a request to Google for a rewarded advert.

Your save

The garden is written to your browser's own storage (IndexedDB, with a localStorage backup). It stays on the device it was made on. Nobody, including us, can read it from anywhere else, and clearing your browser's site data for this domain deletes it permanently. Settings has an export button if you want to keep a copy or move it yourself.

Play statistics

Bloomy sends anonymous events about how the game is going — a session starting or ending, a flower discovered, a cat unlocked, a run ended, whether a gift was doubled. They exist to answer questions about balance, such as where a first session usually stops. Each event carries a random identifier generated on your device, which is not derived from anything about you and is not shared with anyone.

No name, email address, or account is involved, because none exists. Your IP address is used to rate-limit requests for a minute and is not written to the database or to the access log. There is no column for it.

Advertising

Bloomy is free and carries advertising in exactly one place: when a butterfly brings a gift, you may watch a short advert to collect it. Watching is entirely optional: the garden grows exactly as designed without it, and nothing in the game is locked behind an advert.

Adverts are served by Google through AdSense for H5 Games. Google's advertising code is not loaded at all until the consent question has been answered — not the script, not a pixel, nothing. Once it is loaded, Google receives your IP address and may set or read cookies on your device in order to serve, measure and (if you agreed) personalise adverts. What Google does with that is governed by Google's own policy for sites that use its services.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, that question is put to you by Google's own certified consent message rather than by Bloomy, and your answer is recorded in the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. This is the only consent that counts in those regions, which is why Bloomy does not ask a second time. You can reopen the message and change or withdraw your choices at any time from Settings → Manage ad privacy. The consent message itself loads before you answer, because it is the thing doing the asking; it sets no advertising cookie and makes no advert request.

Everywhere else, Bloomy asks directly, with one question: whether the adverts may be chosen based on you. Answer no and Bloomy tells Google to serve non-personalised adverts only. A browser sending Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control is treated as having already answered no. You can change the answer at any time from Settings → Personalised ads.

If neither question can be answered — because a browser extension blocked the consent message, for instance — Bloomy serves no adverts at all rather than guessing.

You can also manage Google's own advert settings at My Ad Center, and opt out of personalised advertising from other vendors at aboutads.info or Your Online Choices.

Children

Bloomy is suitable for all ages but is not directed at children under 13, and no information is knowingly collected from them.

Your rights

Because nothing here identifies you, there is no account to access, correct or close. If you want the play statistics from your device forgotten, clearing this site's data removes the random identifier that ties them together; write to the address below if you would like the rows themselves removed and we will do it.
