A short privacy note

Effective April 2026 · Applies to all platforms

The short version. No Time to Bloom collects no personal data, sends no information off your device, and involves no third parties. This page exists because the platform stores require one — and because you deserve to read it in plain words.

What data the app handles

The only information the app writes anywhere is a small settings file kept locally on your device. It holds your music and sound-effect volume preferences. Nothing else is stored, and nothing is transmitted.

No accounts, profiles, or sign-in of any kind.
No gameplay telemetry, analytics, or crash reporting.
No advertising identifiers, tracking pixels, or fingerprinting.
No cloud sync, leaderboards, or multiplayer features.
No network requests during normal gameplay.

Third parties

There are none. The app bundles no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting SDKs. The platform stores (Apple's App Store, Google Play) may collect their own aggregated install metrics under their own privacy policies; the app itself sends nothing to them beyond what the operating system provides by default.

Permissions

The app requests no special permissions. It does not ask for access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos, storage, or notifications. If a future update adds a feature that needs a permission, it will be requested at the moment it is used, and this page will be updated to say what for.

Children

The app is rated 4+ / Everyone. Because it collects no personal information at all, it collects no information from children either. It complies with applicable children's privacy laws (COPPA, GDPR-K) by not collecting data in the first place.

Data retention & deletion

The local settings file is the only data that exists. Removing the app from your device removes it. You can also reset it from within the in-game settings panel. Since no data leaves your device, there is nothing held elsewhere to request deletion of — but if you have a concern about this, please write in and it will be answered.

Your rights under GDPR & CCPA

Under the GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations you have the right to know what data is held about you, correct it, delete it, port it, and object to its processing. Because no personal data is collected, these rights have nothing to attach to — but they remain yours, and the contact address below reaches a human if you want to exercise any of them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the effective date at the top of the page will change with it, and an updated policy will be shipped with the next release. Material changes — for example, if a future feature ever did involve any data collection — will be announced in the release notes on the app store listing as well.
