Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 02, 2025

Lazy Otter ("us", "we", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our website (lazyotter.co and its subpages, collectively the "Site") and our services (collectively, the "Service"). By using our Site or Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our Site and Service.

1. Information We Do Not Directly Collect

  1. No User Accounts: We do not require user registration or maintain user accounts on our Site. As a result, we do not collect personal information typically associated with user profiles (such as names, email addresses for accounts, etc.).
  2. Payment Information: All payments for our Service are facilitated through third-party payment processors like Whop and Stripe Checkout. We do not collect, store, or have direct access to your credit card details or other sensitive payment information. Please refer to the privacy policies of these payment processors for information on how they handle your data.

2. Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Analytics

Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, operate our services, and understand how our Site is used.

  1. What are Cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit certain web pages. They are used to remember your preferences, help you navigate between pages efficiently, and improve your overall experience.
  2. Our Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies:
    • Consent Cookie: We use a first-party cookie (e.g., `lazyotter_cookie_consent`) to remember your preferences regarding the use of other cookies and tracking technologies on our Site. This cookie is essential for respecting your choices.
    • Vercel Analytics: If you provide your consent via our cookie banner, we use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Site. This includes data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general interaction patterns. Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-focused and typically does not use traditional tracking cookies that store personal identifiers on your device; instead, it may use techniques like IP address hashing (on the server-side) to distinguish unique visitors anonymously. The data collected helps us understand site traffic and improve our services. Vercel Analytics is loaded only after you accept its use via our consent banner.
    • Our Own Anonymous Site Analytics: To understand how our Site is used and to improve its functionality and user experience, we collect certain anonymous technical information and interaction data. This data is collected for every visitor and does not involve storing any unique identifiers (like cookies or local storage IDs specific to our analytics) on your device for this purpose. The information we collect includes:
      • The specific page you visited on our Site (e.g., homepage, pricing page).
      • The text or label of any button or link you click on our Site.
      • The referring site (if you came to our Site from another page).
      • Whether you are accessing the Site from a mobile or desktop device.
      • The general type of web browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
      • The general type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows, MacOS, Android).
      • Your screen resolution (e.g., 1920x1080).
      • The primary language setting of your browser (e.g., "en" for English).
      This information is aggregated and used for statistical purposes to help us understand general user trends, identify popular content, and optimize our Site's performance and design. We do not use this specific set of data to personally identify or track individual users across different sessions or websites. This data collection for our own analytics is not dependent on the consent banner choices related to Vercel Analytics or other third-party cookies, as it does not involve storing information on your device for these specific analytics.
  3. Third-Party Services and Cookies:
    • Google Fonts: Our Site uses Google Fonts to display text. When you access our Site, your browser may send requests to Google's servers to load these fonts. This process may involve Google collecting your IP address. Google's use of this data is governed by its own privacy policy.
    • External Links: Our Site may contain links to other websites (e.g., game store pages, social media). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
  4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences: When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. This banner primarily manages your consent for services like Vercel Analytics and any other non-essential third-party cookies we might use in the future. You can accept or decline the use of these. Your preferences will be stored in the consent cookie. You can typically change your browser settings to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our Site may become inaccessible or not function properly.

3. Discord Communication

  1. Usernames & Communication: After purchasing our Service, we may require you to contact our team on Discord (username: "lazyotterco") for onboarding or support. Any personal information you choose to share on Discord (such as your Discord username or messages) is subject to Discord's own privacy policy and terms of service.
  2. Support Data: We may collect non-personal information (e.g., your inquiries, feedback) during Discord communications to help us improve our Service and address your support needs. This information is not typically linked to other identifiable personal data we might hold (as we collect very little).

4. Children's Privacy

  1. No Services for Minors: Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18 (or the relevant age of majority in their jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
  2. Parental Action: If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our records.

5. Data Security

  1. Our Measures: While we do not collect extensive personal data directly on our Site, we take reasonable precautions to protect any information we do handle (e.g., through analytics or communications). However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
  2. Third-Party Security: As mentioned, our payment and some communication processes involve third parties (e.g., Whop, Stripe, Discord). We recommend reviewing their security practices and privacy policies.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

  1. No Selling of Personal Data: We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data.
  2. Service Providers: We may use third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (e.g., payment processors, analytics providers like Vercel). These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  3. Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

  1. Policy Updates: We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
  2. Review Encouraged: You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Your continued use of our Site or Service after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
