abloomy.xyz ("we," "us," or "our") operates a floral-themed life simulation game platform focused on garden design, flower growing, and community gardening events. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you access or use our website, games, and related services (the "Services"). By using the Services, you consent to the practices described herein.
1. Information We Collect
Personal Information: Account registration requires your email address, username, and encrypted password. Optional details include your favorite flower type (e.g., roses, sunflowers, lavender) and preferred garden style (e.g., cottage, formal, wildflower). For in-game purchases (e.g., rare seeds, garden decor, premium tools), we collect payment information via third-party processors (Apple Pay, Google Pay), which are not stored on our servers.
Gameplay & Technical Data: We automatically collect flower growth metrics, garden design logs, event participation records, device specifications (model, OS, battery life), IP address, and session duration. We also track player gardening choices to refine simulation mechanics and seasonal content.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies: Essential cookies enable account login, save game progress, and store garden preferences. Non-essential cookies (for analytics via Mixpanel) are used to measure user engagement and identify popular garden designs, with your explicit consent.
2. How We Use Your Information
To create and manage your account, authenticate access, and deliver core Services (e.g., cross-device progress sync, community garden collaborations).
To process purchases, deliver virtual items, and resolve payment-related issues.
To analyze gameplay data to fix bugs (e.g., flower blooming glitches), adjust growth timelines, and develop new floral-themed content aligned with player preferences.
To communicate with you (e.g., seasonal planting reminders, garden event notifications, support responses) via email or in-app messages.
To enforce our Terms of Service and prevent fraudulent activity (e.g., unauthorized trading of rare seeds).
3. Disclosure of InformationWe do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information:
With third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting via Amazon Web Services, payment processors, analytics platforms) that assist in operating the Services, bound by confidentiality agreements.
To comply with legal requirements (e.g., subpoenas, court orders) or protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, where your information may be transferred as part of the transaction (with prior notice to you).
4. Your Rights & Choices
You may access, update, or delete your personal information via your account settings. For permanent account deletion, contact [email protected].
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser (disabling non-essential cookies will not impact core gameplay functionality).
You may opt out of marketing communications by clicking "unsubscribe" in emails or adjusting notification settings.
5. Data Security & RetentionWe implement industry-standard security measures (end-to-end encryption, secure servers, regular security audits) to protect your information from unauthorized access. Personal information is retained for as long as your account is active or as required by law. Gameplay data is retained for 18 months after account deletion to maintain garden history and content improvement analytics.
6. Children’s PrivacyThe Services are intended for users aged 9 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 9. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete the information promptly. Parents/guardians may contact us to verify or delete their child’s data.
7. Changes to This PolicyWe may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
