Overview

Mafia: Zodiac Enters (com.dasodev.zodiacnights) is an offline-first game app. Some optional features use Telegram bot APIs, and some builds may include Firebase Crashlytics for crash diagnostics.

This policy explains what data is stored on device, what data is sent to external services, and why.

This app does not create user accounts. There is no developer backend. Data deletion is done on the device using the steps below.

How to delete your data

Use these steps to delete information stored by Mafia: Zodiac Enters. Google Play Data Safety links to this section.

1) Delete the current game (including Telegram chat ID mappings)

1. Open Mafia: Zodiac Enters.

2. Open the menu (three dots).

3. Choose New Game.

4. Slide to confirm.

This clears the current game, player list, and Telegram chat-id mappings stored for that game. It does not delete saved reports, your bot API key, or app settings.

2) Delete saved game reports

1. Open Report Manager in the app.

2. Select the report you want to remove.

3. Choose Delete report and confirm.

3) Clear the Telegram Bot API key

The bot API key is stored only on this device. New Game does not remove it.

1. Open Mafia: Zodiac Enters.

2. Open Settings.

3. Tap Enter Telegram Bot API key (or the saved bot name if a key is already set).

4. Tap Clear Telegram Bot Key.

5. Confirm Clear Bot Key.

This removes the stored key and stops Telegram bot features until you enter a key again.

4) Delete all on-device app data

To remove everything stored by the app on this device (game state, reports, bot API key, and settings):

1. Open Android Settings.

2. Go to Apps → Mafia: Zodiac Enters → Storage.

3. Tap Clear data (wording varies by device).

Uninstalling the app also deletes all on-device app data.

5) Data already sent to Telegram

Messages and report PDFs already delivered in Telegram chats stay on Telegram’s servers. The app publisher cannot delete those copies. Delete them in Telegram, or ask the chat owner to delete them. Telegram’s retention follows Telegram’s own policies.

6) Questions

If you need help with deletion, email darsordev@gmail.com. Include the app name Mafia: Zodiac Enters. There is no account to close.

Data We Process

A) Data stored on your device

• Telegram bot token (if you provide one).

• Game state (players, roles, game progress, votes, outcomes, registration mappings).

• Game reports (JSON and PDF) containing player names, roles, and game events.

• Settings such as language, timer defaults, and music preferences.

This data is stored in app-local storage (Android DataStore and files directory) and is not publicly readable by other apps under normal Android sandbox rules.

B) Data sent to Telegram (optional feature use)

If you enable Telegram bot features and provide a token, the app sends data to Telegram Bot API endpoints, including:

• Telegram chat identifiers (chat_id).

• Registration and game-related bot messages.

• Generated report PDF files (and optional captions) when report sending is used.

Purpose: enabling registration via bot, status/help messaging, and report delivery to selected chats.

C) Crash diagnostics (build-dependent)

Some builds include Firebase Crashlytics when google-services.json is present at build time. In those builds, crash and diagnostic metadata may be sent to Firebase/Google to improve app stability.

The default repository build does not include google-services.json, so Crashlytics is not part of that artifact. If a build does not include Crashlytics, this crash data transfer does not occur.

Why We Process Data

• To run and restore game sessions reliably.

• To support optional Telegram-based registration and report delivery.

• To debug and improve stability (Crashlytics-enabled builds only).

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

Data may be transmitted to:

• Telegram (when Telegram features are used).

• Firebase/Google Crashlytics (only in builds that include it).

Data Retention and Deletion

• On-device data remains until you follow How to delete your data above (new game, delete reports, clear the bot API key in Settings, or clear app data / uninstall).

• Data already sent to Telegram or Firebase is retained according to those providers’ policies. The publisher cannot erase those copies.

Security

• Network communication to Telegram/Firebase uses HTTPS (TLS).

• Sensitive Telegram details are redacted in debug network logs.

Children

This app is not directed specifically to children under applicable legal age thresholds.

Play Data Safety Alignment

The Play Store Data Safety declarations are intended to match the exact behavior of each uploaded build artifact. If release configuration changes (for example, enabling/disabling Crashlytics), Data Safety declarations and this policy should be updated accordingly.
