What Mahj with Friends collects

Nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. The developer never receives any data from the app.

What stays on your phone

Your name at the table, your cards, saved games, stats and history, blocked players and settings are stored on your phone. Deleting the app deletes them.

Playing nearby

To play at the same table, the app finds nearby phones running it over your local network and Bluetooth. Only the game itself (moves, tiles, table names and the name you chose) passes between the phones at the table.

Game Center

If you're signed in to Game Center, you can invite friends and play online. Apple runs Game Center under its own privacy policy; the game sends only moves to the other players.

Taking a photo of a card

If you add a card by camera, the photo is read on your phone to find the hands. It isn't saved or sent anywhere.

Sharing a card

A shared card link carries the card inside it, after the #, which browsers do not send to the website's server.

Purchases

Mahj Pro and tips are bought through Apple. Apple handles the payment; the developer doesn't receive your name, email or payment details.

Children

Mahj with Friends collects no information from anyone, including children.
