Mafia
Privacy Policy
Last updated 12 October 2026
You can host and play Mafia without an account. Signing in with an AimDev account is optional, and only a host has a reason to: it carries the free games and a Game Night pass between the app and the website. What follows is what the app and the website handle.
What we collect
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The name you type when you join a room | So the other people at the table can see whose turn it is. You choose it; it does not have to be your real name. | Deleted with the room |
| Game state — the room code, who holds which role, votes, and the log of what happened | It is the game. Without it the app cannot tell you your own role or count a vote. | Deleted with the room |
| A random token identifying your seat | So the app can prove you are the player whose secret role it is about to show, and so you keep your seat if your phone restarts. It is generated by us, means nothing outside the room, and is not linked to you. | Deleted with the room |
| If you host: how many games you have hosted, and any Game Night pass you hold | The first three games are free and a pass lasts 24 hours, so the server has to count. Without signing in, the count is kept against a random id made on your device, which is not linked to you. If you sign in, it is kept against your AimDev account's id, so it follows you between the app and the website. | 400 days after it last changed |
| If you buy a Game Night pass: the store's record of the purchase — which store, which product, the store's transaction id and the time | So we can check with Apple or Google that the purchase is real, and start your pass once. The payment itself is handled by the App Store or Google Play; we never see your card or billing details. | Kept with the hosting record above |
| If you sign in: your AimDev account's id | To know which hosting record is yours. Your email address and password belong to the AimDev account service you sign in through (auth.aimdev.site); Mafia's game server keeps the account's id, not your email address. | Kept with the hosting record above |
| Crash reports, if the app fails | So we can fix it. These contain the technical details of the failure — not your name, and not the contents of a game. | 90 days |
A room and everything in it is deleted automatically twelve hours after it is created. There is no archive and no backup of finished games.
What we do not do
- No account is needed to host or to play, and players never have one. A host may sign in with an AimDev account; that is optional.
- No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
- No third-party analytics or tracking of any kind.
- No location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera. The app never asks, because it never needs to.
- No selling or sharing of anything with anyone. There is no data broker relationship to disclose because there is no data worth brokering.
- No purchases on this website, and nothing for players to buy. The one thing for sale is the host's Game Night pass: a one-off in-app purchase in the Android or iOS app, not a subscription, at the price the App Store or Google Play shows you. Refunds are handled by the store you bought it from.
Children
Mafia is a party game and suitable for teenagers and adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them — a name typed into a room is the only thing a player provides at all.
Where it is processed
Mafia is built and operated by AIM DEV LIMITED, a New Zealand company, and runs on our own servers rather than a third-party game platform. Crash reports go to our own self-hosted error tracker.
Your rights
If you never sign in, there is nothing to look up: we cannot find "your" data, because nothing identifies you. If you host signed in, the hosting record above is tied to your AimDev account: email us from the account's address and we will tell you what it holds, or delete it. If you want a room deleted before its twelve hours are up, the host can end the game, or you can email us the room code and we will delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes will be noted in the app's store listing.
