Mahj Nights is a scorekeeper for mahjong game nights. This policy explains what happens to the information you put into it. The short version: it stays on your device, and we never see it.
What we collect
Nothing. Mahj Nights has no accounts, no sign-in, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. The app does not send anything you enter to us or to anyone else. We have no servers that receive your data.
What stays on your device
Everything you enter is saved only on your iPhone or iPad:
- the names, colors and emoji you give your players, and your groups and house rules;
- your game nights, hands, results and settle-up history;
- any photos you add to a game night;
- a note of how many free game nights have been used and when the first one was, kept so the free allowance can't be reused.
If you use iCloud or computer backups for your device, this information may be included in those backups, which are run by Apple under your Apple Account and its own privacy policy.
Camera and photos
The app uses the camera only when you tap "Take a photo". If you choose photos from your library, the app receives only the pictures you pick. Photos you add are stored on your device and are not uploaded anywhere.
Reminders and widgets
If you turn on a game night reminder, your device asks whether Mahj Nights may show notifications. The reminders are set up and shown by your device itself; nothing is sent to us or anyone else. The Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets read the standings from a file the app keeps on your device for them.
Sharing
Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to share it. When you tap a Share button (to share a night's result, a photo, or a copy of your records), your device's own share sheet opens and you decide where it goes.
Purchases
The optional "Unlock everything" purchase is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your name, your payment details or your Apple Account. Apple tells the app only whether the purchase has been made.
Money
Mahj Nights only keeps score. No money moves through the app.
Children
The app does not collect information from anyone, including children.
Deleting your information
Deleting a player, a game night, a group or a photo in the app removes it from your device. Deleting the app removes everything it has saved, except the small note of free game nights used.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
