GLIMMERBUD
Privacy Policy
Effective October 5, 2026. Glimmerbud is operated by NeuroSpicy Solutions Studio. This policy explains what information Glimmerbud uses, why it is used, and the choices you have.
Information you provide
When you create and use Glimmerbud, you may provide an email address, display name, password, optional birthday month/day, tasks and routines, notes, starter steps, goals, reflections, feedback, reminder preferences, and other content you choose to enter. Please avoid putting highly sensitive information into free-text fields unless you are comfortable storing it in the app.
Account & security information
Glimmerbud stores information needed to operate and protect your account, including password hashes rather than readable passwords, session records, login-attempt records, and temporary password-reset information.
App activity & progress
Glimmerbud stores information needed for its features, such as task completions, Showed Up Days, Seeds, collectibles, garden placements, bouquet progress and history, accessibility/settings preferences, and related app activity.
Notifications
If you choose to enable push notifications, Glimmerbud stores a device/browser push subscription or notification token, your device timezone, optional Daily Glimmer time, task reminder times, and notification privacy preferences. Showing task names in notifications is off by default. If you turn it on, task names may be visible on your lock screen or notification history.
Payments & billing
Glimmerbud uses Stripe to process web payments and manage subscriptions. Payment-card details are entered directly into Stripe's checkout and billing systems; Glimmerbud does not store your full card number. Glimmerbud receives and stores limited purchase information needed to provide access, such as the plan or product purchased, subscription or transaction identifiers, billing status, and verification timestamps. Stripe may separately process and retain billing information according to its own privacy and legal obligations.
How information is used
Information is used to provide and personalize Glimmerbud, keep your progress available across sessions, send reminders you request, secure your account, provide password-reset and essential account communications, process and verify purchases, troubleshoot problems, respond to support requests, and improve the app.
Service providers
Glimmerbud uses service providers to host and operate app infrastructure, store data, authenticate accounts, process payments through Stripe, deliver password-reset email, and deliver push notifications. Web or device notifications may also rely on notification infrastructure provided by your browser or device platform. These providers process information as needed to provide those services.
No sale of personal information
Glimmerbud does not sell your personal information or task content and does not currently use third-party advertising or behavioral advertising networks. Creating an account does not automatically enroll you in marketing email.
Feedback
If you choose to submit feedback, Glimmerbud may store what you submit along with your account, submission date, approximate use-day, and any device/browser details you choose to provide. Feedback is used to troubleshoot and improve Glimmerbud.
Retention & deletion
Glimmerbud keeps account information and app content while your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You can permanently delete your account and associated Glimmerbud data from Settings. If you have an active recurring Stripe subscription, Glimmerbud attempts to cancel it before completing account deletion so future renewals stop. If subscription cancellation cannot be completed, account deletion is paused rather than deleting the account while billing may continue. If you cannot access Glimmerbud, use the Account & Data Deletion page to request deletion by email. Payment processors may retain transaction or billing records when required by law or their own legitimate recordkeeping obligations.
Your choices
You can choose whether to enter an optional birthday, enable notifications, receive a Daily Glimmer, set task reminders, or show task names in notifications. You can turn push notifications off at any time in Glimmerbud and may also control notification permissions in your device or browser settings.
Children
Glimmerbud is intended for people age 13 and older and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 created an account, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect Glimmerbud information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password and do not use Glimmerbud as the only place you keep information you cannot afford to lose.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as Glimmerbud changes. When material changes are made, the effective date above will be updated and additional notice may be provided when appropriate.
