Privacy Notice
Pons Garden · operated by Prometheus7 Research Institute · last updated 8 September 2026
What we hold
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| A random player id and session secret, stored in your browser | To recognise your garden when you come back. Not linked to any identity. | Guests: deleted shortly after you leave. Linked wallets: while the account exists. |
| Your display name | Shown to other players. You choose it; do not use your real name if you would rather not. | While the account exists |
| Game state — plants, Sap, defences, stats, season history | To run the game and score seasons | While the account exists |
| Your public wallet address, if you link one, and the signature proving it is yours | To derive your land, and to check prize eligibility | Until you ask us to unlink or delete |
| Chat messages | To show them to other players in the village | Not retained after the session |
| Server logs, including IP address | Security, abuse prevention, debugging | Short-term operational retention |
What we do not do
- No advertising, no ad networks, no behavioural profiling, no data sales — ever.
- No third-party analytics or tracking scripts embedded in the game.
- No email addresses, passwords, payment details or government identifiers collected.
- No access to your wallet beyond reading public chain data and one identity signature.
Blockchain data
If you link a wallet, we read public blockchain data about that address — balances of the tokens the game uses — to derive your garden and check prize eligibility. That data is already public and we do not add to it. We cannot delete anything from a blockchain, and unlinking stops us reading it but does not erase the chain.
Every address has a public garden page derived from public data. If you link an address, its garden page reflects the name you chose.
Who sees it
Other players see your display name, your garden, and your standing. Nobody outside the game receives your data. We use a hosting provider to run the servers, and an in-house language model (Oracle7) that runs on our own infrastructure to generate keeper dialogue and market commentary — your data is not sent to any external model provider.
Your choices
- Play as a guest and we retain essentially nothing once you leave.
- Unlink your wallet at any time.
- Ask for deletion of your account and game state, or a copy of it, via the contact address on prometheus7.com.
Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to our use of your data, and to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Pons Garden is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes
We will announce material changes in-game and update the date at the top.
