Privacy

The short version: Bloom or Doom doesn’t collect anything. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing sent anywhere. The plant list is inside the app.

Who we are

“We” means Sarah Francis, who makes Bloom or Doom (a Lazy Girl Tools thing) and is responsible for your information. You can reach her at hello@catfibs.com.

What this page covers

The Bloom or Doom iPhone app, its website at bloom-or-doom.com, and the web version of the checker (at bloom-or-doom.com/app and lazygirltools.com/bloom-or-doom).

What stays on your phone

Your stickers

The safe plants you’ve checked, and when, so they can go on your sticker sheet.

Whose turn it is

Doodle and Dax take turns to answer; your phone remembers who’s next.

Sound on or off

Your choice, so it stays that way.

That’s all, and none of it leaves your phone. What you type to search for a plant isn’t saved or sent anywhere. Deleting the app (or, on the website, clearing this site’s data in your browser’s settings) removes it.

Links and sharing

If you tap a link to Cats Protection, PDSA, International Cat Care or the ASPCA, it opens their website, which has its own privacy policy. If you tap Share, your phone’s share sheet sends what you choose, where you choose; we don’t see it. Tapping the PoisonLine number starts a phone call from your phone.

The website version

Netlify hosts the website. Like any web host, it sees your internet address when your phone connects and may keep it in short-lived security logs. We don’t store it ourselves. The app doesn’t use the website at all.

Children

Bloom or Doom is fine for anyone and collects nothing from anyone, children included.

Your rights

We don’t hold any information about you, so there’s nothing for us to give you, correct or delete; everything is on your own phone. If you email us, we keep your email and message so we can reply. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

If this changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
