Privacy Policy
This policy covers CozySlowzy on every platform: the web version at cozyslowzy.com and the apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
The short version
The game does not collect, send or sell any personal data. It has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking. The only connection it makes is to check our server for new content for the room. The website’s own pages use Google Analytics only if you agree — see “Analytics on the website”.
What stays on your device
Your settings (lights, time of day, season, weather, view and music volume), where you are in the room, and a copy of the room’s content are stored only on your own device — in your browser’s local storage and IndexedDB on the web, or in the app’s own storage on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. They are never sent anywhere. Deleting the app, or clearing the site’s data in your browser, removes them.
Content updates
Everything the game needs to start is already included, so it works offline. When you are online, the game asks our server at cozyslowzy.com whether a newer version of the room is available and, if so, downloads the new files. These requests contain no identifier, account or personal data. Like any web request, they reach our server with technical data such as your IP address and the time of the request, which is used only to deliver the files and protect the server.
Time, season and weather
The live time of day uses your device’s clock. The seasons and the live weather are simulated inside the game; it does not ask for your location and does not contact any weather service.
The website
When you open cozyslowzy.com, your browser downloads the game and the website from our server. Like any website, the server and our network provider (Cloudflare) process technical data needed to deliver those files and protect the site, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request. This data is used only to run and secure the site, is not combined with anything else and is not used to identify you.
Analytics on the website
Only on the website’s own pages — the home page, this policy, the Terms and Support, never inside the game — we use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4, services of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to count visits and clicks on the play, download, store and contact links. They run only if you choose “Accept” in the banner; until then they are not even loaded.
With your consent Google Analytics sets cookies on cozyslowzy.com (_ga
and _ga_…, kept for up to two years) and receives the pages
you open, the buttons you click, your browser, device and language, and
your approximate location. Google uses your IP address only to work out
that location and does not store it. Google may process the data in the
USA; Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We
keep analytics data for no longer than 14 months.
Legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time, as easily as you gave it, with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page; the cookies are then deleted. You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and to complain to a data protection authority.
App stores
If you get the game from the Apple App Store, Google Play or the Microsoft Store, the store handles the download under its own privacy policy. We receive only the anonymous, aggregated statistics the store provides to all developers.
Children
Because the game collects no personal data, it collects none from children either.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date. Questions: [email protected]. See also the Terms and Conditions and Support.
